technically they can't but one time I appeared in court and claimed the cop was grossly exaggerating the charges(I wasn't being charged I was a witness) and that in several parts of the report blatantly fibbing. The judge proceeded to tell me, "Mr. XXXX(You guys can't know my last name) Police officers don't lie." At which about 90% of the courtroom laughed.

The fact is they can't but they can... Unless you have witnesses or a recording of it you probably can only get said officer pissed off at you and looking to get you yet again. It sucks but it's a sad truth.. As far as noise, he can argue your radio was too loud or whatever. It's a tough one to fight to be honest. You can contest the ticket and try to get it thrown out but his gross language and obvious bias may have no effect on the truth if you can't 100% prove what he said.
