In court if the cop is not there you can plead not guilty and the judge will dismiss the case without question. If the cop is there you can plead "no contest" or "no lo". If you plead no contest you don't have to wait in court. You just pay the fine and nothing goes on your driving record. "No Contest" is the best option if the cop is in court. If the ticket goes on your driving record; you will have to pay more for auto insurance.
Cops can be @ssholes and get away with it because they carry a gun. I would not worry about the ticket because almost everyone gets a speeing ticket a few times in their life.
