You can actually make them rewrite that ticket, and file a complaint with the city attorney. The assessed worth, which would be new evidence, can be used to force them to reopen the case. In one incident, I've made the police rewrite a report from one of malicious mischief to that of a hate crime. They didn't think that a series of swastikas spray painted on the outside of an immigrant's home to be a serious matter. I've always been of the opinion that the first strike should bear all the weight of the community's indignation. By the time you get to the third or fourth strike, it's already been too late.
