I have even pulled up alongside a car, told the driver he has one or two brake lights out, and on rare occasions have that driver be mad at me.

That made me laugh, I know exactly what you mean. It's funny, you can tell immediately if they all ready knew it was out. Sometimes, out of embarrassment I presume, they try to fake it, but you can tell they knew it.
I had one car that had the brake lights tied to the same fuse as the interior dome light. I thought that was a good idea. If you open the door and the dome light doesn't go on, you might not have brake lights. Bulbs usually don't all go out at the same time, but the fuse kills everything.
Flint, that's a strange system you have down there.
I wonder if some clerk was having a bad day and decided to give you a court date rather than do what they were supposed to?
Be that as it may, for whatever reason it didn't go down as the cop said it should, now it's become your problem. You can be justifiably pissed about it but you still have to deal with it before get gets worse.
I'd write the Judge a letter, in advance of your court date if possible, and lay the whole thing out for him. At least if he reads it before you get there, he might be predisposed to let you skate.
Good luck.
