The court typically will take a cop's word over yours. Also, cops aren't there to interpret the law, just to enforce it.

+1, tie ftw.
Also, if you get a lawyer (or not, if you're savvy enough), you can speak with the prosecutor immediately prior to the the cases starting and ask what they are charging you on, he may be willing to lower the charge again if you agree to probationary driving for 3 months or whatever.
