Get a beak, go to court, if the circumstances are as you describe you can plead before the magistrate that the policeman was unreasonable and ask the court for mercy as it is your work that will suffer and that the ticket was issued whilst you were conducting your work. If you stick to your guns and behave politely and tell the magistrate that the cop tried to intimidate you may be lucky and have a work license issued. Many years ago something similar happened to me but the two coppers flogged me.
I lodged a formal complaint, ran it through the courts and spent the money defending it. By the end of it I had the two coppers on the run, had two of three charges dropped, minimum penalty on the last one and a mark on the coppers file. Once the magistrate sees that you are prepared to stand your ground and that you are credible you might and I say might get some mercy. Don't let them get away with it cause they will just bully the next guy

Evidently not...
You're right dude, that is a new low. To 'those' coppers out there, what could possibly be going through your mind when you decide to be a dirty pig with authority issues? What the hell is wrong with you?
If it were me I would have reported the incident back to work and gotten them to defend the case with you. I'd take it to court and tell the judge the cop harassed you and attempted entrapment in the instance with your seat belt, and you know that the rules state if you don't have your license on you then you can show it to a cop station within x time.
Fight hard dude, bring that ass of a pig down.

x2. A mate today told me about your situation Chris and you should fight to the death!! Not having your license on you doesn't prove shize if you ask me. You should at least have had the opportunity to take your license to the station.
I've read stories about writing a nice letter, that can sometimes melt their heart and let you off. Could be worth a try given you weren't really doing anything illegal (so to speak).
