I'm not sure if I heard this suggestion here, or some other site, but just the other day someone knowledgeable was suggesting how to beat a traffic ticket. The courts are highly inefficient, highly backlogged, and very forgetful. So, what you do is schedule a court date, and then ask for a couple of postponements. These are almost always granted. After the second one, they'll loose the paperwork and forget all about the matter.
It's the money they want, and if it ends up costing them too much, they lose all interest in it.
