i mean, i guess ill have to wait behind the car then make my left. I can't afford the tickets even if i think i am in the right as a cyclist to determine the safety of my own turn.

i would like to fight this, but i'm not sure if i can unless i had arrived at the stop sign first.
It sounds like the cop could have given you a ticket for riding two abreast if there was traffic behind you. Which is what I would expect from traffic law.

I think you should talk to a Florida lawyer familiar with traffic law. When it comes to legal advice, you get what you pay for.
