As for driving away, I literally drove around a corner and into a parking lot, maybe a total of 50 feet travelled so not far.
Also, since there were two cops there do they both have to appear in court?

If they paced you AND radared you, you might have to pay the ticket.
Scaring police by reaching into your glovebox isn't illegal. Seems like you followed their instructions (you were cooperative, right?) so they have no beef there.
50' is reasonable for safety and what I said before is probably good to go.
Two cops.....I'm not sure, but if one used radar and the other paced, then both might have to show but I'm not sure.
The problem here is that you were going about 30 over......if you're not worried about insurance, you may just want to pay it.
Good luck, when's the court date?
