now are u sure the cop didn,t know u were racing,and gave u the petty fines because he didn't want to charge u with any thing magor......it's been my experience that sometimes when a cop knows u were doing something wrong and doesn't think you should get in big trouble for it,sometimes they will give you some bull**** fines because they think you should get somthing.......i can't beleive i'm actually defending cops.but i've been in alot of trouble in my life(probly been charged with every traffic related fine Pa. has at least once)so i have alot of experience in this matter.there has been many occations where i was guilty of somthing with harsh punishment and got caught but only wound up with petty fines because the cop was cutting me a break.
now this cop might have just been being a prick and charged u with what ever he could come up with,lord knows i've run into cops like that ....lots of cops like that.
just be sure he didnt have proof of you racing before you fight the other charges,if he did have proof and cut you a break with the petty charges ,than he'll be pist about you fighting charges and may come up with more charges
just my 2 cents
