You need to be objective. Have you had your hearing tested by an audiologist? How can you be sure your ability to hear hasn't been impaired by loud music? Maybe this ticket is a warning sign?

Hey, my sports car has a stock system but it's Bose and goes VERY loud. The last time I turned it up really loud was when some gal deep into a cell phone conversation literally ran me off the road at a merge point.

I pulled up alongside her and made it impossible for her to continue her important conversation.

If she works midnight shift, fight it. We never showed up for traffic tickets that people fought if we worked mids. You spend 8 hours in court before they tell you it's been dismissed and then you have to work all night again with no sleep. Dangerous and not worth it.

If she works day shift, she'll show. Depends on where you live on how difficult it will be to win. However, if you go in asking for proof of how loud it was, and give all the other evidence that others here have given you (excellent points BTW) my guess is you'd beat it.

My theory is for some reason she thought you may be up to something and wanted a record of you. Once you receive a ticket your information automatically will pop up if your plate is run, your license is run, etc., depending on the CAD system that's used in the dispatch center of that department. It was common for our guys to pull people over and give them a stupid BS ticket just to get them in the system if they thought they were in the 'wrong' neighborhood or up to no good. They also did it to people that were habitual offenders, just for harassment sake.
