<human>: Hello everyone, so one night I was driving with my friend and I was driving in the left most lane in a road with 3 lanes going the direction I was. I realized I needed to be in the right most lane to get onto the freeway so naturally I check my mirrors and over my shoulder and see nothing and right before I changed into the middle lane, I turn on my blinker. Half way into me being changing into the middle lane a cop honks at me and proceeds to pull me over. She claims that I almost hit her but I didnt see her at all in any of my mirrors, over my shoulder, or any lights. I was pulled over in the Santa Barbara area in California. I am going to fight this case but how should I go about it?

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Almost hit a cop that I believe didnt have their lights on at night while I was attempting to change lanes. How should I fight this ticket?
