Call back up there and talk to someone. It also depends on if it was a city or county cop.

I got a ticket for 56 in a 35 by Gwinnett cop, showed up to court since it was my first one, got dropped to $88 from $117.

Second ticket was 55 in a 35 by LAWRENCEVILLE cop. Paid without using court, $225.

Call back up there and talk to someone else, you should not have to appear.
