I've had that happen to me and a friend before where the cop cuts you a break and then "politely" (in my case he actually did politely ask) to not take it to court. But i am pretty sure that if you go see the First appearance Judge and not go all the way to court for the ticket, they will reduce the fine. You only have to see the cop if you decide to have a court date set, otherwise they usually cut you a deal and you can take that at a reduced fine and then i believe everything is still okay.
Hope it works out
