You're missing the point. He doesn't need to pay for either. You're the reason cops get away with the stuff that they do. He's not your Daddy, he can't slap your wrist if he suspects that you've been bad. He can only fine you with what he knows and can prove that you've done.
He must not have seen this guy street racing, because he would have given him a ticket for that on the spot. Rather he saw him driving away from the scene of the crime and decided to teach him a lesson, he has no right to do that. In court, you are on trial for what you are charged with, and only that.
If he were knowledgeable, he'd be ticket free, street racing or not.
