That's what I was thinking Jim.

So should I just go into court and explain the facts, have my wife and daughter there etc, and ask the judge to dismiss?
Your first appearance will be your arraignment. This is when you will plead "not guilty" and the matter will be set for trial. The officer will not be at the arraignment and there is no need to try to explain anything to the judge at this time, all this will be done at your trial.

Be patient, understand the issue, prepare your defense and argument, and you should be acquitted.
