Cops: getting out of a ticket? going to court?

I should not have gotten a ticket last night. this guy stopped me on a college campus at 10:30pm; with NO CARS IN SIGHT, literally I was the only one, I was just coming from the gym.

I'd stopped at the stop sign, MAYBE just not a 3 second stop.. but I acknowledged the stop sign.

This cop pulled me over and was trying to be VERY NICE and get me to stand up for myself.. I could tell he would have let me out of it.

I normally would try to, but I have people in my life, just really not helping me survive, and I've been sorta of a matyr lately, .. BIG TIME..

I feel I definitely should have said something, he would have given me a warning.

Going to court, I want to try.. any suggestions?

good idea? or..?

Thank you.
