It would only count if you're *convicted* of the offense the cop's charging you with. A ticket is a summons. If you send in the fine, you're pleading guilty. Tell them you want a trial, and show up at the court.
Also, if you are convicted of whatever it is, I believe you have 5 days (or ten???) to appeal it.
