Well, the first thing to do is wait thirty days so you won't have two
charges to defend (bogus or not, it will take up your time if he's provoked
into filing the charge).

After that, my suggestion would be to ask your local District Attorney for
an opinion on your radio (he'll appreciate the links, or better yet-- a hard
copy), and get his favorable reply in writing. (You may end up with an
Assistant DA, but they will accommodate you if you persist.)

What the DA thinks doesn't matter. See FCC ruling 93-17, which dealt with
amateur radio equipment which could RX public safety frequencies. Once the feds
rule, local jurisdictions don't have a choice.

Keep the letter with your insurance certificate and registration handy in
your glove compartment, just in case you forget to buckle-up again.

What I didn't see in the original post was whether or not the driver WAS wearing
a seat belt or not....
