I have thought about this for a bit and I say you should challenge the citation. Not because I think you have an open and shut case, but the hearing will open your eyes to our legal process. Since Amanda is interested in law, take her with you! Dress well, be polite and come well prepared. Talk when talked to and stay calm. I am hoping that Hillsdale County is not a good ol boy court system. At this point the hearing is not going to cost you anymore than you owe now. Good Luck!
