Of course the officer isn't allowed to do that, he was telling YOU what to do, ie go to court and politely ask them to drop it from your record, at which point you will have to pay a reduced "court fee" instead of a speeding fine and promise not to get any speeding tickets for a year. He cut you a huge break by writing the ticket for less than 72mph, because 15mph over is the cutoff for having a ticket dropped from your record.

Nothing you can do about the HOV lane ticket unless you want to go in there and lie about it. Either you did it or you didn't. You can ask them to keep it off your record though and see how that goes. It's worth a shot because those count harder against your insurance than speeding tickets. Ask me how I know.
