Cops have quotas, whether it's official or not (it's not legal to, however) and sometimes they are focused in just filling the numbers.

I was pulled over and given a ticket for reckless driving and "driving at an unsafe speed" a few years back when I had to avoid a car that pulled out in front me, swerving into the other lane and then having to swerve back to avoid another car. I was polite, explained what happened, he still wrote the ticket.

I pled not guilty. I showed up to court in a suit and tie, with a briefcase and the works...judge instantly dismissed it.
