While your definition may be correct, it's incorrect in your situation...You weren't blackmailed, you were told the truth ahead of time...Most just let you find out the hard way on the day of court...
What the officer stated to you is the truth, and standard practice...By paying the ticket of 64mph, and not going to court, you will have accepted a plea bargain, and thus a lesser sentence/fine...If you go to court, you must face the full charge of 81mph...If you lose then you're at the mercy of the judge...And you better hope he/she is in a good mood...
