That is up to the DA ... some will drop it, some will not. Understand that the medicinal marijuana recommendation allows for an affirmative defense, it is not like the state issued DHS card which would have allowed you a free pass.
If they are broken, fix them and bring proof of correction to the court. If they are not, and you just did not have them on, then there rally is not much you CAN do about it.
This is often going to be filed as an infraction so that it can be handled in traffic court. You might have to see what happens at your arraignment.
If you have a complaint with the officer's professionalism you can complain to the agency involved.
If you hire an attorney, you are free to explain the situation and see if he feels there is grounds for suppression. I suspect not, but I also do not see a strong reason to handcuff you so quickly, either. But, if the officer can articulate some reason to feel that handcuffing you for his safety or yours was prudent under the circumstances, then the search might be good.
