There's no grand conspiracy to get people to pay the tickets instead of fighting them. Heaven forbid the police want you to receive less demerits and pay less money if you feel you're guilty. Furthermore, there's no falsifying facts. Everything is documented on the back of the ticket which is viewable through disclosure including reasons why discretions or breaks were given.

Assuming you're a police officer based on this post, I do have a completely honest question: When you ask "do you know why you were pulled over?" does it make any difference what the response is (outside of someone being a dick or anything, obviously). Like I've said I don't know when I don't know, and guessed when I have a suspicion as to why, but do you really care either way, or is it just to whether you have to explain to someone why they're being pulled over or not?
I just thought of it when people were discussing what you should say.
