Also since you the prosecutor isn't going to prosecute an invalid law, you probably won't have to show in court anyway. Your lawyer files a motion to dismissed based on a SCOTUS precedent, and that's pretty much going to fly with the Judge.

In 2008, Nelson Sloan and Ryan Flynn were arrested by the Raleigh Police Department under North Carolina's "crime against nature" statue for engaging in private, consensual, homosexual sex. The charge is considered a Class I felony in the state and carried a punishment of up to two years in prison.
The Raleigh police Captain at the time, T.D. Hardy, explained that, even though the stateÂ’s law against sodomy had been struck down by Lawrence, his department's actions were still valid:
The Assistant District Attorney eventually decided to drop the charges against the two men, citing Lawrence. Sloan responded by noting that he had nonetheless been punished for consensual sex:
After the charges were dropped, Joe Furmick, the veteran Wake County magistrate who booked the two men, explained why he chose to continue enforcing the stateÂ’s unconstitutional "crime against nature" law:
"I couldn't care less what these guys do," he said. "I'm with the old Victorian lady who said, 'I don't care what people do as long as they don't do it in the street and scare the horses.' But you don't want me to decide which laws to enforce and which not to. My opinion shouldn't enter into it." [The News & Observer, 5/31/08, via Nexis]
