Stupidest ticket ever gotten - I'll take it to court?

I parked (x) in the subway parking lot. I got my food then went on "my way" then the cop pulled me over "stop!". He said I am getting a ticket because I crossed parking lots, which is illegal if I do not go to mcdonalds/blockbuster. Then I asked what if I wanted to go to mcdonalds this way(pink line) would that be legal? He said yes, then I said I was planning on doing that. He said take it to the court, I don't believe you. He was stating to get on longmire I have to go through rockprarie first beause I did not use blockbuster/mcdonalds.
I left on longmire (dumbass i should have gone to mcdonalds), came home told my dad. He said to go back and get mcdonalds and blockbuster (so I can show the recipet in court) so I did. Whats funny is I got pulled over with 3 other cars, and when I went back those two bike cops were still getting more people tickets there.
Do the motorcycle cops have video cameras?

That is a pretty stupid ticket.
The cop probably thought you were cutting through the strip mall parking lot in order to avoid a traffic signal.
The judge will definitely let this one go, it's petty as hell.

The question is...
Should I tell the judge the truth that the reason I went that way is because its faster to my house OR lie about I was planning on getting mcdonalds...

Now that I think about it..
The violation was "cut across parking lot - avoid intersection"
Technically I did not even go to mcdonalds/blockbuster parking lot.

...if you tell the judge the truth... the officer was in his right place to give you the ticket. Judges wont feel sorry for dumb tickets.. if you broke the law.. they will enforce it. Just say you really where getting some food. If you don't feel right about lieing.. just pay the ticket.

I have no problem lying. I just hope the cop does not have a camera on his motorcycle, lol. Becuase it would show me leaving right after I got the ticket and not getting Mcdonalds.

the thing is, he allready went to subway, so why would he go to micky D's? I think you should say you went to blockbuster, then you can say that you were so mad about the ticket you forgot all about blockbuster, but then came back after you remebered.

Yeah, I had a feeling that might be brought up. I could say it's for my bro, etc.
There is a drivethrough at the back (i did not draw it)
So I could say I was planning on doing drivethrough but decided I wanted a movie as well so I was going to take a left (pink line) and park.

I'm almost positive they dont' have cameras on the bikes.
Secondly, they wouldn't go through the trouble to make a tape for such a minor infraction.
Take it to court, wear a shirt and tie, show your mcdonald's reciept, and you will get off.

doesn't matter. they can't prove that you had no intention of going to mcdonald's. however, you have evidence to prove that you wanted to and did go to mcd's. The fact that you went home after being ticketed is irrelevant. the possiblities for why you may have taken that path, but not stopped at mcd's, are endless...maybe you realized you didn't have enough money and had to go home first, etc. furthermore, a person has the legal right to pull into a parking lot, decide he/she doesn't want to go to mcdonald's for whatever reason, then leave. that was a stupid ticket for the officer to write.

REALLY? In that case I can say that as well at the court.

taking shortcuts through parking lots is illegal in many places, because people racing through lots can be dangerous.
i have never actually heard of a ticket being issued for it. a cop friend of mine once told me that they sometimes stop people to scare them, but don't usually issue tickets because they just don't hold up in court. the officer can't prove that a person entered the parking with the sole intent of using it to bypass city streets.
it seems even stupider in this case, considering he was already in the parking lot, but chose to take the north exit, instead of the west exit.
