A couple of things from my past.

1. I've used ticket assassin. Didn't work for me. Beverly Hills police/Beverly Hills court house. Officer was all over my ticket. I was kinda f*cked though on that, we spent some time talking about my radar detector and how it didn't "work." Believe me, he wasn't going to forget me.

Also see if there are any notes on the ticket written by the officer. Mine had, "Are you sure it was me?" LOL! Actually, I did say that because I was following a Mini Cooper S that was moving a lot faster than me. If none, asking for an extension and "delaying" it as long as possible might help you.

2. I believe officers here in L.A. area are paid time and a half to show. They aren't going to forget. And I also think now in L.A. there are only certain days for "trial." For me, the Beverly Hills court house was on Tuesdays. That makes it easier for the officers to show because they know the day will never change.

3. While the "county seat" might work, what if it does end up there? IMO, downtown L.A. is a pain in the a$$ for a moving violation.

If you can get traffic school with no chance of the violation being on your record, eat the ticket ($$$) and take care of it that way.

Good luck.
