Locally, police are cracking down on everything, instead of catching murders they rather write jaywalking tickets.

Yeah, that's true. You should see the parking fines where I live, insane

If I were you I would definitely take pictures so the Judge knows what he's looking at. I would apologize, didn't know these little lights were illegal. Don't say you knew. And then try to get the ticket reduced. In today's economy, they can't expect people to produce money they don't have.

I don't think he'll get out of it because they're really cracking down and trying to bring revenue, but I think he has good cause to argue to a lesser amount. Worth a try.

And thanks for the warning, Jamal. Good luck.

Unfortunately, pleading ignorance doesn't always work.

The *&&^ LED lights are on the car for more than 3 years, it's not even flashing, it's just like One Small Led light that you can barely see at day time. I know it's illegal somehow "flashing"? 2 inch round diameter? ......?
but didn't know the damn ticket is almost 1000 dollars.

3 years? Does GA not have safety inspections? Blue light are usually an insta-fail.

Edit: If you've passed a recent inspection with those lights on, I would take that documentation to court when you go, it may help. If not, they may at least revoke the inspection license of the inspection station that passed your vehicle.

Just to reiterate.
