Outrageous Police Behavior

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're responsible for the amount to be paid under the statute. The cop was lame to call you late at home, but probably trying to do a nice thing (for him as well as you, since he made an error) in making sure you didn't underpay ... and then get a warrant issued someday for an unpaid ticket.

Consult with an attorney, if that won't cost you more than the $50 difference (um, what's a $20 "surcharge?"). But be prepared to pay the full amount of the statutory fine.
