First time pulled over (dark tint)

A little over a week ago I got stopped by a Medley cop and got a $129 ticket for my tint being too dark (less than 1% light). I bought the car used earlier this month so I didn’t think much of it

Cop told me not to pay and to fight it

I went on the county site and hit “request court” — now what? Is it in person or online? Will they make me show the car or remove the tint? I’d rather keep it, but I don’t want this thing on my record

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to help me out
