Unfortunately not, since the state can make it so that it costs more to contest a fine and win than it would have cost to simply pay it.

Very true. One has to pick his battles. However, if more people knew they had the power to nullify these stupid laws, more would be overturned.

I would hope this is true, yet when I stop to think how far from the original wording our constitution has been taken by justices who swear to uphold it and within hours set to work to overturn it I find little cause for optimism. The law can only be returned to a sane state by an informed and active citizenry and only a very small minority of the people I meet are capable of thinking clearly in the abstract. Fewer still are interested in taking time away from their daily pursuit of gratification to attempt to right what is wrong with the law, therefore we slide ever closer to totalitarianism. The frog is long past the point of being able to jump and will soon cease to struggle and emit a final faint croak of acquiescence while slowly sliding to the bottom of the pot.
