It often
is bullcrap but you're missing the point. The point is to make it not worth their while to prosecute. Even a mediocre traffic ticket attorney can usually make this happen quite easily. More often than not, the state will just drop the case. If they
do pursue it then you can start filing for adjournments to make them waste more time and money, thus making them more likely to drop it, or for the officer to fail to appear. It also may be possible to obtain deferred adjudication.
It all depends on the circumstances surrounding the stop, prior infractions, and the legal environment in which the infraction is committed, which is why I again stress that a free consultation should be pursued before making a decision to fight.
