No, just talked on the phone to the secretary I guess a few times. She said they have notified the court I am fighting the ticket and that I will get a letter in the mail as to when I am to appear in court. I cant figure out how can a cop use the radar inside the cruiser with the window up facing the direction of traffic?

I have been through the I'm going to represent myself crap, and what you become is the laughing stock of the court room that day. Even a lawyer will tell you that it takes a fool to represent themselves, even lawyer use a lawyer.
You are right about one thing that being an attorney is a member of the court , and so is the officer for that matter. If you go into court and disrespect the officer in the court room the judge will see it as disrespecting the court it self as the officer is a sworn member of the court.
You will not be taken serious trying to represent yourself.
I had a ticket in Moorpark, CA I was actually not guilty and the city was wrong, and tried to represent myself then won on appeal with an attorney representing me. The only difference was I was legally represented in the appeal, he even used al my notes and pictures that had previously been admitted and reviewed by the court.
Only a fool would walk into a gun fight with a knife. If you want to win use a local attorney. And in this case they will offer you a plea bargain 9 out of 10 times of being a seatbelt or coasting. You still pay the fine, the court cost and the lawyer but it shows as a no point tickets.
The only tickets I can speak of are issued by CA or TX, and in both case they have been pleaded down, and TX held the ticket in the court file and never posted it. The TX judge said if I got another speeding ticket in his area he would post them both, if not it would go away in 90 days. Thats was 3 years ago never heard or seen it so I guess he was as good as his word.
Anybody that would recommend walking into a court room with being legally represented is a fool. -

If you really believe its about truth, justice and the american way. Then more power to you. It is not, depends on the court. But your odds are greatly improved by being represented.
I 've no need to comment past that your own post speak for themselves. -
