Hoping the judge sees it as a simple mistake and lets me go without any punishment.

Not in this lifetime.

Tickets are strictly for money generating revenue.

You may be able to get the points reduced so your insurance doesn't get hammered as bad but expect to pay even more than the $396 to be able to save an insurance hike.

Expect this "simple mistake" to cost you at least $500

I don't entirely agree. If there were no financial impact for disregarding motor vehicle laws, I have a feeling we'd see a lot more people running lights, failing yield, etc, resulting in more accidents.

Not saying that they don't generate revenue, but I wouldn't say that's the entire purpose.

Oh come on

A couple of months ago I got a parking ticket ( which was bogus) in front of an apartment deep in the complex ( no where near the main road) meanwhile a woman on the main road was mugged and raped while the officer was patrolling the apartment complex to generate revenue for the town.

Tickets are 99% bogus now and have been for quite some time in this country.
