I have heard these types of arguments in the past and they have failed each and every time. Also, due to COVID, this type of argument will absolutely fail. Regardless, you will want to appear and see what happens in court. At the very least you will want to ask for Court Supervision.
Also didnt fill out the vehicle section

In order to remove this judgment, a Motion to Vacate will have to be filed and properly served on the prosecutor. The Motion will... View More

Even though the ticket is marked No Appearance Required, you must appear in court and request Court Supervision at the very least. You will be required to pay a higher... View More
