So sorry to hear that, some time people with power abuse that power and what they represent. I hate this kind of people. There is really no way to get back to him but you can beat the ticket at least, key is t extend the time that you need to go to court. Reschedule your court, tthen ask for a night court, then try to reschedule ... etc etc...

Come on where's the lawyers at. I need some good advice. The best I got is keep rescheduling in hopes the cop won't show by the 3rd time. LOL

Free advice is often worth what you pay for it!! Find out who the "traffic lawyer" is in the town where you got tagged or where you'll go to court. I'm guessing that it will cost you around $150 or so (based on Houston). In the end, it's much cheaper than meeting the cop's brother in law as the judge, or whatever the points might cost you in insurance, etc.
Good luck!!

Yeah thanks Craig for taking your time on finding the traffic laws for me. I really don't feel I should have to pay anyone anything this entire ticket is such a slap in the face, this guy definitely did not like me. Either that or he's probably jewish, Just kidding 
Oh and btw I definitely did not exaggerate what so ever on my statement. It is word for word the absolute truth.

I would imagine that you are very friendly with most cops now that you have met them all.
If you do a search on this forum, there is a huge correlation between cop haters and drivers with multiple tickets. On the other hand, drivers who do not get tickets seem to have no problem with cops.
Some have said that adults typically have no problem with cops, but children do. Anyone want to comment on that.

17 points, multiple tickets, etc. Not sure why you hate cops. After all, you seem to have met half of them in town.

I have a tendancy to drive quick, and if i get pulled over, i am humble and respectful. after all getting a ticket is my fault, not the cops, not society, not the law, not the man. mine.
