“Hta 144(12) Green Light Failed To Proceed”

Got a ticket because i was playing with my MP3 Player in the car when light turned green while I had not realized. No cars were behind me. Cop who was on the other side of the intersection stopped me and gave a ticked he thought i was texting but I was not, I was changing the songs on my car stero.

Its 85 $ ticket, not sure about points.

What are my options?
