OT: Speeding Ticket Scam! Any Advice? (long)

My original court appearance was scheduled (as shown on my ticket) for 12/23 at 8:30am. A letter was sent to my address in New York (I'm in SC) stating that my time was changed from 12/23 at 10:30am to 12/16 at 10:00am. It was received on 12/11. The times were off, but I let it go as a typo.
I went to court and the docket listed my appearance at 8:30am and I'm ready for 10am. So, I wait until 10:30 when there is a break in times and when I go back into the court room the officer is there. My "offense" gets reduced from 6 points (28 over) to 4 points (26 over, I was 15 over)and the fine from $450 to $138.
When I got a copy of the letter, it was signed by the officer not the court. So, I was re-scheduled based on his schedule. If I was there when I was scheduled by the court (8:30a) and the officer was not there, would the ticket have been dropped?
I feel like a victim of this officer (along with the other 30 or so people in the courtroom who were also there just for this officer!)
Basically I got ripped off and I'm not sure if there is anything I should do or just be thankful that I did not have to pay $450.
Thanks for any advice and the rant!
