Anything you have done so far or said to the officer is now fair game.
If you have already made an excuse to the officer about why you were breaking whatever violation, you chances of winning in court are lower.
But that doesn't mean that you have to give into to fines.
You have options when getting a ticket.
Some areas going to court is optional while others it's required.
Be sure to check the ticket to find out if you are required to show up because you can get a warrant for your arrest for not doing this.
Some areas allow you to admit to guilt and pay the ticket upfront if you don't want to go through the court process.
It's better to try to fight the ticket because the charge could be dropped, the fines could be reduced, or you could have other options the judge may give you.
If you decide to fight your ticket, then it's best to check what the local laws are in regards to this violation.
This might involve some research at the department of motor vehicles or in your area it might be online.
When you know what you are fighting it's much easier to get a defense.
You can represent yourself in court without a lawyer.
There are many advanced defense techniques that can be used for different traffic tickets and citations that will work depending on your circumstances.

This can normally get the charge dropped and replaced with a few hour class instead.
This will save you money in fines as well as on your auto insurance rates.
