Going to court a few things can happen, the cop doesn't show up (case dismissed), you pay less of a fine, they throw it out or (worst case) they find you guilty and you can work off the fine through community service. All of these options are not available to someone who just wants to pay the ticket.

I thought that I mentioned that?
