The whole thing just sounds like a scam to get people into court and then get some sort of money out of them. One question, Did they ever get into the fact that the trooper clocked you going in the other direction? Is that a possible/ valid reading?
But I guess if you are satisfied with the result then the whole thing was with the effort. The no points will save you on your insurance in the long run.

Math, I can't speak for the entire state of Florida, but the city of Jacksonville has become one big speed trap over the last 3 months. There must be absolutely NO crime here, because every cop seems to be on traffic duty. It is a total scam, they are just looking to create revenue for the city, but the idea is NOT to get people going to court. Most will just pay the fine, which is what they "bank" on.
