Oh please, spare us.  The ticket is NOT a fine, it is an accusation.
legally, he isn't caught yet, and won't be "caught" unless he chooses
to roll over and pay, as you suggest.  If you feel that it is morally
defensible to (speed,abuse in carpool lane,jaywalk), (and let's not 
start something over whether or not one should do any of those), then 
you should fight it when caught.  If you don't really think it's right,
then you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.  The time to decide 
on the ethics of a situation should be when you initiate it, not when
an external influence (traffic cops) makes it's opinion known.
