logic of a brakelight ticket

It would be physically impossible for you to: sit in your car and step on your brakes while also being behind your car to see if your brakelights are functioning. So... you can't know they are out unless somebody tells you . . . and . . .
. . . if that "somebody" is a cop, and he gives me you ticket, what has been accomplished?

Well, no problem, I just have to fix it withing 10 days and go down to the courthouse, that'll be that . . . but . . . not quite . . . actually they'll only set me a court date two months out (why did I bother getting it fixed at all?) and in two months time, what if my car is in the shop or something? (which it is)
