Whenever you go to municipal court, it's best to see the prosecutor first. Talk to him/her and see what your options are. Then, maybe you'll want to talk to the cop.
Once, I tried to talk to the cop that gave me a ticket on my bike. He popped me at about 130MPH. But, he didn't have me on radar. I didn't want to argue the ticket, but as soon as he saw me he was like "hell no!!!". Only after talking to the prosecutor did he come back, and I was able to explain. I wasn't trying to get out of the ticket, I just wanted to know the details and what we could do.
I've been getting most of my tickets from Troopers in upstate NY. There are no prosecuters involved, it's just you, the trooper and the judge. In every case, I have spoken with the trooper right before court started and we worked out some type of deal. I guess in Jersey it is different.
