Pay the ticket. You wouldn't win in court.. your word.. his word.. but I'd go a step further. ASSUMING you're 100% sure you did use your blinker, I'd file a complaint on the cop. I would emphasize this fact when filing, as it would be a waste of time otherwise. If nobody every says anything, they get away with it. If he starts to get a few complaints, over time, it'll damage his rep.
I had a cop who had it in for me once, because I got out of a jam, and he didn't like that.. the last time he "tried" to give me a ticket, I flat out told him I would drive to the cop shop and file a report on him.
Also had a cop who accused me of doing 40 over, when I was doing 20 over. When we got to court, and he realized that I had a friend on the force, that his name would get tarnished, that he would be building a bad rep, that HE would never get a favor thrown his way by coworkers, low and behold, he withdrew the ticket outright. I wasn't "jo blow" anymore.
