    Time to get yourself legal representation.

    The courts will always lean towards the statement of a sworn in Police Officer, over a regular civilian.

    You are going to need to speak with a lawyer and get them to work with you on this one. Either that or cop the punishment sweet.

    The matter is before the courts now, so don't go into your local cop shop. You will need to make arrangements to be in court that day to argue your case with a solicitor.

    There are a couple of things you need to argue in court, the ticket is at the discretion of the officer and the court can overturn that. If you did get a ticket for using a mobile phone and you did not then the fine is invalid and will be dismissed, you just have to prove it. Maybe the evidence is showing that it was a medical situation and you had to use a glucose meter. were you stationary or moving? was your car in park or drive mode? was the handbrake activated?
    Anything that takes your attention from traffic and driving can be worth a ticket. It is called "not in full control of a vehicle" . Elbow out of the window, smoking, drinking, eating, brushing your hair or just picking your nose. if you take one hand off the wheel to wave hello to someone you may be fined.

    At one stage in NSW it was "no handheld devices" in a car, and that could provide a problem for you if still the case.

    Best bet is contacting a lawyer in your local state and going from there.
