Ticket for Failure to Signal?

Okay I'm from Chicago and there was a cop that stopped me and he said I was speeding, but he is only going to give me a failure to signal ticket. He took my license and told me to go to court. The weird part was that he told me to plead not guilty. So should I tell them not guilty? I'm still 17.

    What the officer said was quite unethical. When an officer goes to court other than during his working hours, he is paid time and a half. The only other thing he may mean, which I doubt, is if you go to court and plead not guilty, and he doesn't show up, then the ticket is dismissed.

    I would do as one of the other answerers said and pay it. You may get traffic school and not have the offense on your record for the future.

    He's trolling. Don't do what he said, just pay the ticket and get it overwith. Don't get yourself in trouble. Cops in LA are ***** too
