Bike Ticket – Fight or Pay?


The other week I got pulled over for running a red light on my bike. However, the cop accidentally (?) wrote down violation number 19176-B, which I believe is riding on a sidewalk.

Riding on a sidewalk is a much lesser offense, fine wise, than running a light.

Should I fight this, since he wrote down the wrong code? Should I consider it a gift? If I fight it, could the judge or cop adjust the ticket to the proper violation and then charge me for running a light?
