answer:But you are required to STOP. That means coming to a complete halt, noticeable by the reflexive movement of the car slightly back as it halts. Then you may proceed after a complete halt with no movement. You may both disagree with the ticket, but the officer told you he didn’t stop for long enough. There isn’t an easing of the cessation of movement because of no other traffic. In fact, you should stop, look both ways, then proceed. Pay the ticket or see if he can do traffic school to keep it off his record.
