Isn't this a site for legal advice? As in 'how do I get out of this?'... instead of 'the cop is always right'?
I have been lurking around here for a bit, and posted my own story a while back to no avail. How about some constructive legal advice? Aren't some of you guys lawyers?
I answered your question. I don't know how I can be more constructive than that.

Basically you are screwed out of ~$500 in lawyer fees because of some cop accusing you of a crime. There honestly needs to be a community of people out there to teach people how to DEFEND themselves in court without having to pay huge lawyer fees.
We call them "lawyers".
If you want to learn to defend yourself, apply to law school. One of the first lessons you will learn is that a lawyer that defends himself has a fool for a client.

If you get lucky you might find someone willing to fight the charge for you. There are laws on the books making this type of 'guilty by association' logic flaky at best but the judges in low level courts don't care about making statements, just raking in their court fees. (coming from legal advice that I recieved).
From what you said, you were guilty. A judge's job is not to fight your case for you.
