I don't have any advice to offer, but it does remind me of about 25 years ago my now wife drove down to Manasquan and grabbed a beer while unpacking her car and got snagged on the sidewalk between the house and the car with an open container. Must be a great moneymaker for them.

I wonder if fighting it now might be a good move if the person that wrote the ticket was one of those temporary cops that now wouldn't be around to show up in court.

If the cop doesn't show up, the judge might dismiss it, or they might adjourn it for another day. Depends on the judge.

Before it gets to the trial though, you'll have a pre trial conference with the prosecutor. It's possible they will work something out with you, but considering it's the shore, I doubt it.
