A judge would most likely consider it to be a violation of failure to maintain equipment
My previous question was answered a judge doesn't normally say "you win" its either guilty not guilty dismissed. That was my point as to why I assumed it was over as in not guilty. To me that was a very bazaar terminology for a judge to use and it throw me off as I see it did to... View More

If I were you I would order the transcript of the proceedings first with the court to find out exactly what the Judge said to you and then try to figure out what to do next and which direction to take the case.
