SouthJ1--- Contest all of the tickets in traffic court and POLITELY ask the Judge (without being a smarty pants) to "dismiss" all of the tickets. All of the tickets were improperly filled out with incorrect year of manufacture, and therefore make them invalid/void. It is the Officer's responsibility to insure the supporting paperwork is filled out correctly. I have had ticket's "thrown out/dismissed" by a traffic court Judge because of missing or improper boxes not accurately annotated by the Officer writing the citation(s).
By your discription, I assume you were on Public Off-Road Land, and not causing a hazard to the general public or other traffic. Thus, negligent or reckless driving will have little or no validity in court. What were the charge(s) that the Officer actually cited you for???
By your described smarty pants antics of taunting the Police Officer, the only charges I can think of would be Obstruction, or Hindering a Police Investigation. Since you're very young (only 16)-- in the future, always try to cooperate with Police and be as nice and polite as possible and apologetic for the reason he stopped you (without admitting guilt). You will be amazed at how a little courtesy and nice polite attitude can often turn an expensive ticket into just a verbal warning (it has saved me thousands of dollars over the years and kept my driving record spotlessly clean).
