Having now been a driver for a few decades, I must say it is all a wash. I think it would be at least worthwhile to go to court and have your say in front of the traffic judge. You or your dad might be able to speak with the prosecutor in advance to explain the situation from your POV, but in general I've found that if you are honest, the judge will cut you a little slack, sometimes. I always try to go, as I feel it is best to excercise ones rights within the legal system, and there is also a small chance the officer will not show up and the case will be dismissed.
Maybe you didn't feel you deserved the treatment that was given to you by this cold hearted officer. But, you will in the long run be guilty of far more violations than you will ever be ticketed for. There are only a few that I've gotten that I had any disputes with.
But next time, when you see that there is a cop around, drive like the grandma.
