Personally I would go to court with both tickets in my hand and tell the judge the story.
To me it sounds like he is trying to bully you into paying the first ticket for whatever reason, maybe it's his day off on Friday
I would then speak to his supervisor and tell him the story, also mention to the police station that if this police officer ever pulls you over or comes to your door you want him accompanied by a supervising officer else you will file a complaint to the Province about the harassment you are receiving.
Also mention you have no problem going to the newspapers, but will not bring them into if you are left alone by this officer but if you ever feel threatened by that cop or another one you will be letting your lawyer know. Explain you are not trying to threaten them but you just want your peace and quite, considering it is your right to fight a ticket. If it wasn't they wouldn't allow you to do so!
I use to get harassed by the Police for the type of vehicle I was driving, getting stopped and searched whenever I went to the downtown area I would be pulled over within a few blocks.
I went and talked to my lawyer who instructed me to do exactly what I explained and after talking to the Supervising officer of that area I was never bugged again. Well until I was actually doing something illegal...
Don't let them push you around, cops are pussies and think they hold the power but they are just as powerless as some guy walking down the street when you aren't doing anything illegal.
