He gave me the ticket, and suggested I can go to the Court House and tell them I don't know it is illegal... So I am thinking that he just wanted to write a ticket to fill his quota for the week!

Well, cops look out for what they consider to be unusual driving behaviour so I guess the cop did not like to be passed.
As for telling you to go to the Brampton court house and tell them you didn't know it was illegal.........this seems a little bizarre to me that the cop would suggest this.
I know Brampton, and the courthouse is interested in taking your money for the fine or having you plead not guilty ands set a court date.
Its up to a judge to decide to let it go, or the crown attourney to decide not to go to court if you plead not guilty.
IMO follow through on the cops advice. The court may have some agreement to not follow through on minor equipment infractions if they are already corrected, to keep the courts from getting too backed up.
