Anyone have experience in fighting out-of-state/country tickets? Do we have to pay it? What are the consequences?

I got a speeding ticket last year in NY state (before I installed a radar detector). The state of NY and Ontario have an agreement to share info on out of province and out of state speeding tickets. I hired a lawyer to take care of it. It was pleaded down to a traffic violation (failing to yield to a stop sign or something like that). They do all the work and I ended up paying about $60.00 for the fine plus lawyer fees. Was it worth it? For me yes since I travel extensively in the U.S. Some say the is no bilateral agreement and I know people that just have not paid a U.S. speeding ticket and nothing happened.
