Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

I received a $500 ticket for making a right on red and supposedly not stopping. The camera at the intersection took video and pictures of me. I was not pulled over by a police officer. I received the ticket in the mail. I sent a request for discovery to the citing officer, the DA, and the Clerk of Courts. The DA sent me a letter saying there is no prosecuting attorney in my case and that I am not entitled to pretrial discovery. The officer sent me two of the eight documents I had requested saying that that is all he had. Should I leave it at that and tell the judge at trial I did not receive what I had requested and hope for dismissal? Or should I try to prove that I am entitled to what I have requested? I sent in my trial by written declaration and if I am found guilty I will request a trial de novo and appear in court to fight it. I have a well researched defense and plan to fight my ticket to the fullest extent of the law. I was looking for some expert advice. Thank you.
