At first I was horrified to see that a cop would write an active duty Marine, on his way to Iraq, ANY ticket. Then I saw the part about Fort Monmouth and understood. The majority of the population they serve are service men and women. Not as easy for them to give breaks. Still, sucks rhino and if you'd have been stopped by me, you'd be asked to slow down, thanked for your service and given best wishes for a safe return from the desert.
As stated above, bring cash to court. If they have any heart at all, they MAY reduce it to "Causing risk of accident" (Part of the "Delaying Traffic" statute, 39:4-56) but in all liklihood, they'll hit you with "Unsafe Operation" which, sadly, will cost between $420 and $450 as stated above.
And since I didn't stop you, thank you for your service and be careful over there!
