I'd likely pay it too if it's $20 or less and no points. It's not worth my time to drive to the courthouse, park and wait with the other sheep getting fleeced.I’d guess he ran tag hit a button and printed ticket and never looked at license,go to court if it bothers you that bad.
I would just pay the ticket, and move on if I was in the wrong .not worth the b.s. to me to prove a point.
As stated above a asshole judge may throw a court fee on top of your fine.
