The opinion that you gave the officer no lip is yours. Maybe the officer that cited you had a different opinion. However, none of us here were that officer, so we don't know.
And as for your comment that we "ALL" gave officers lip when we were younger, again, I think you're speaking before you think. Many of us here (and I'd go so far as to say MOST of the verifieds on here) were taught to respect officers from a very young age. I know for a fact that I have NEVER lipped off to an officer when I've come in contact with him, and therefore, I've never received a citation that I did not deserve.
As for being a brat, that has absolutely nothing to do with age. Being a brat is a function of lack of maturity.
You say you're not a kid any more, but to me you are, as I have children around your age. And I did not assume you were a brat, I simply stated that is how you were sounding on here as evidenced by your posts.
You have asked your question and received many good answers which seem to all point to the fact that it is not going to come out how you like. Please come back after your day in court and let us know how it went, as we will be interested to see who was correct.
