I doubt the judge would see that as relevant -- I've tried almost every argument at various times and not many work!
What does work is to keep appealing and hope they don't show up, and even better is to talk to the cop before the hearing and ask him to knock it down to a non-points violation -- which in my experience, if you were polite and nice to them at the time of the stop, they almost always will agree to do.
Of course this all takes time and I now just look at it as a tax and pay it. I got stopped a week or so ago with my truck and expired registration (I had been procrastinating since it costs $243/year for my truck) -- the cop said just come to court and if you show me it was renewed I'll withdraw it. I told him it wasn't worth my time I'd just pay -- so he gave me a warning! Haha, nice guy though, usually they have something to prove.
