And even times ive forgotten my wallet and didnt have them on me, if you are polite to them they usually give you the same tone and respect back. Not saying that means you are getting out of the ticket, but not every cop is as stated from the above experiences.

Its no different than any other job, there are good people and bad people. I'm sure its just the same as anyone whos had a mechanic try and screw them and lie to them about what they need fixed and what not, when its really fine.

but back on topic, fight the ticket if its worth you paying gas and tolls to come back. Especially if its not points on your liscence, just go by whatever is cheaper. if its cheaper to just pay the fine and not the money spent to travel back just do it. otherwise, unless the cop has a decibal reading on your car then whats his subjective opinion is loud compared to someones else with no hard numbers to prove it was above any specific law numbers. I dont know if there are specific numbers for nyc, but i can find out from a buddy if you want me to.
