If you want to pay it and move on, plead guilty. If you want to have a trial, plead not guilty... However be warned,that in almost 97% of the trials for seat belt violations you will be found guilty... The 3% of those found not guilty,are due to other reasons such as the officer not being able to appear in court and testify against you(most common)...
