All kidding aside. A qualified attorney is the best bet. I once had a minor drug case dropped because the police hassled me on the stop. It's not television & Law and Order. They don't have to read you "your rights". Yet at the same time, you don't have to say $hit but your name and address. The CPD is notorious for being bullies.
But really, was anyone hurt by this incident? Drop it. I've lived in Chicago long enough to appreciate the "tough" stance our cops maintain. I spent 45 minutes 'cuffed and on my butt, freezing in the Loop wearing nothing but a tee-shirt & running tights during the marathon, just because I failed to recognize and stop when a bike cop told me to do so. I'm still grateful. The next guy that bike cop 'cuffs might have just broken into my apartment! This is a big, dangerous city folks...and for all their insensitivities and mistakes, it is those aggressive cops that keep us safe!
Yeah, why have the right to not be harassed when we can just be safer in a police state.

And here we go...
You're joking, right?

I think this was just posted for the lulz.

Nothing says "drop it" like bouncing a forgotten thread up to the top.

Do you guys think a general "law 'n order" attitude, and respect and gratitude for our police force, is a laughable idea worthy of LOL's? Sorry I do not agree.
I fold back rear-view mirrors on parked SUVs all the time. But I'm certainly aware that most drivers consider it an act of aggression. And too, for a car in traffic as BootsyC's target was apparently, folding back that mirror is also a safety issue...the driver won't be able to see other cyclists coming up from behind, maybe ME, maybe YOU! Drop it.
