That being said, it doesn't hurt to go to court and contest it. Sometimes they let you plea to a local ordnance which at least saves you points. Plus, if you decide to contest and the officer doesn't show (sick, retired, etc) then you walk out home free.

About 90% of the time around here they are still using radar. I don't know why but maybe it is due to costs. So it's still worth it to me.

In Texas, we can take Defensive Driving to erase a ticket from our record. You can do it once every 12 months. So even when I get a ticket every 3-4 years, I just take DD.
