Answer: (1)
The only way to fight your case in an attempt to discredit the Police Officers story would be by taking this case to court. The police report would not be admissible, but hiring a Lawyer can help you cross examine the statements of his story by taking into consideration facts, witnesses, and other factors that are specifically relative to your case. A skilled Attorney may be able to work out some sort of deal in getting the penalties for the charges reduce to perhaps merely Community Service.
