Dream on. Despite Larry's somewhat Pollyanna-ish attitude towards the
law (understandable since he's an attorney) my experience has been that
unless you feel like dumping thousands of dollars into lawyer's fees you
don't stand a chance on something like this.

So while in theory you might have slightly better than a snowball's
chance in Hell of overturning a bad traffic court decision, in fact
nobody in their right mind is going to bother on something like an
equipment violation.
