Fight the ticket - generally, if you go to court and agree that you were speeding, promise not to do it again and ask for the ticket to be reduced to 9 miles over the limit - you pay the ticket but avoid the points. Do not argue about the actual numbers; your car speedometer is not a precision machine - that is not direction you want to go unless you want to hire experts. Promise not to do it again.

It is an abuse of power for a government official in their official capacity to notify your employer of an infraction not work related. The concept of malfeasance in office should cover this. The power of the badge should not be abused.
