Why did they want me to plead guilty to this?
I received 3 tickets, running a stop sign, not carrying an insurance card, having illegally tinted windows. I got the DA down to a parking ticket with no fine by arguing.. I moved to dismiss in the interest of justice (cop wrote a false written statement, wrong month, wrong day, wrong car year, wrong time) it had too many errors to be a minor written error. My question is why would he want me to plead to something with no fine, no points? So I couldn't sue later on (I also had proof the law was arbitrarily enforced, about 99% of people stopped by this cop lived outside the small town I was in, showing an economic favoritism for the people living within the town). I was just wondering what the point of making me plead to that was? Thanks!

It's called plea bargaining. They are offering you a lesser charge with no points or insurance rate impact. You can either accept it or take your chances with a judge.
When dealing with "small town justice" it's been my experience that the cop, DA, and judge are golf buddies and belong to the same Moose Lodge. The odds of the judge finding in your favor on the merits instead of believing with his golf/drinking buddy are pretty slim. The DA is throwing you a bone, and a pretty sweet one at that. He didn't even poop on it first. Run with it!
