If you have a last name starting with something past M or so, you can go to court, get a feel for how the judge is treating similar cases, and if you like it, stick it out, and if he or she seems really harsh, walk out and go to the clerk and request a continuance.
Plus, you might discover that your arresting officer isn't there. In that case, you appear in front of the judge, plead not guilty, and walk out with the charges dropped.

The function of conservatives is not to meet every liberal program or scheme with a denunciation or a destructive counterscheme, but rather to weigh its advantages and defects, supporting the first and challenging the second. A declaration of ideological warfare against liberalism is by its nature profoundly unconservative. It meets perceived radicalism with a counterradicalism of its own.
