I agree with the comments so far. Also, the officer falsely listed your employer as "crossdresser" In Florida, I believe any false information on a traffic ticket will get it dismissed based on a ticket my brother got some years ago with false information on the ticket. His was dismissed. I also agree that putting that on the ticket shows prejudice and has no baring on the charge. Depending on the judge, since it's the officer's word against yours, and you have a 40 year clean driving record, he may dismiss the charge. I would also ask the judge for consideration about the fine since you are unemployed. I would definitely mention that and how the fine would be a severe hardship. If nothing else, the judge may set a payment plan. And like already said, the officer may not show up. It does happen often, especially if the officer has to drive a long distance or it's his day off. One last long shot....the judge might be a crossdresser and take a dim view of the unnecessary note on the ticket. If it was me, I'd take my chances with the court appearance.
