Am I risking suspension for this?

Here's my story. I live in NY. Last July, I got a ticket for "Improper U-Turn". Went to court, had a lenient Judge, paid a reduced fine- was not notified or told if any points were put on my record. My insurance did not go up any. Last November, was stopped by a cop for speeding. He, being nice, gave me a ticket for "Speedometer Not Working Properly", which was an equipment violation, so- no points, paid a $50 fine. Earlier this week, the SAME cop radar's me going 56 in a 35mph zone. This time- NO leniency. Gave me the full ticket. He remembered me, and was quite mad. I have been driving for 13 years with an absolutely clean record until this "string" started. I understand, obviously, that I will have to pay a fine. My question is, am I risking a license suspension for this? And- seeing how mad the cop was, and since he was the same one who caught me in November, would it be better to just mail in this ticket, plead "Guilty" and accept the fine and points, rather than risk going to court and him bringing up what happened in November to the Judge? Thanks for any advice.
