Are you a F1 student? if so then go to the court and tell the judge that you can't afford to pay the ticket because you come from a poor country where $1 = Rs 72 and that you are not allowed to work fulltime, 40hrs, outside campus to make that kind of money. Instead ask the judge to give you work permit so that you can work outside legally and pay off the fine. Maybe this way the judge will lower the fine if not exempt it all? goodluck and keep us posted Brah!
