They have a staff of attorneys and he wont win.

I got a speeding ticket in Oregonia, Ohio many years ago. I thought I was going to fight it, until I saw that it was a circuit judge, and court was held at a folding table in the basement locker room of the local school. I was 18 at the time, and had my mother with me. We both were laughing the entire time at the cop who pulled me over...The guy was also acting as the bailiff for the circuit judge. He stood in the corner with his hair greased down, looking like Alfalfa from Our Gang...had his shirt buttoned to the top, no tie, and a hitler style patch of hair on his upper lip.
I plead no contest, paid the fine, and vowed to never drive through that area again. $120 total, and I was on my way.
