N.B. I am not a lawyer and I did not research this thoroughly. I also realize that this would be a silly thing to worry about.
Actually when I was in there I answered NO to the question about being in front of a judge... but then later I recalled that I also went before a judge when in college back in 1989 to contest a traffic infraction (driving too fast for road conditions.. I had been in a car accident in the snow). However the judge dismissed the ticket..the police officer didn't show up to court but another witness (surprisingly) did.. he questioned her..she could offer no useful evidence against me.. he asked me if I had any questions for her..I said no... and he said there was insufficient evidence and dismissed my ticket. Took about 2 minutes. I don't think the CBP people are interested in traffic infractions anyway.
