I'd fight it.  First, take photographs of the intersection as soon as 
possible.  It may be helpful to have yourself in the photo with that 
day's copy of the newspaper so the data of the photo is documented (or 
take a notary with you.)

Second, call a lawyer.  I've had good luck with John L. Corn (despite the 
hokey ads.)  I think his fee is somthing like $45.

Good luck.  Richardson cops can be real bastards.
