All depends on what the cop puts in his statement, and what you told him. You should never tell the police anything. If you told him you didn't see the person or weren't paying attention, that's going to be in his statement and he's going to tell the judge that if it goes to court. The judge is more likely to believe something in an officer's statement than what you say in court.

So even if the officer didn't see anything, the judge may believe him if you told him something at the scene.
