I recommend that you go to the magistrate's office in person and plead not guilty. If you appear in person and don't have the funds, you don't have to post a bond.
When the hearing comes, talk to the police officer about your financial situation. Even if you're found guilty, you can ask the judge to put you on a payment plan. Traffic violations don't usually cost less than what you have been fined.
