Can a citation be dropped if it has wrong information
listed? I was pulled
over for supposedly doing 96 in a 70. I was not but refused to argue with the
officer, I took my ticket and said I will just appear in court. Once I was home
looking over the ticket I found it wasn’t my car listed, different year, make
and model. A completely different car, same color. (Grey) Can I fight this? I
honestly believe he clocked a different car. I was not completely aware of my
speed but for sure I wasn’t doing 96mph. I had just missed hitting something in
the road which made me slow down to miss the object.

Any ticket is worth contesting, just to let your attorney try to
get you a better deal with less impact on your insurance and points, but this
one, even more so. On a busy interstate
with traffic flowing at 80 mph for more, picking one grey car from a pack of
grey cars might be difficult, as this mistake demonstrates. That being said, I would still recommend
having counsel handle this, since you have probably already harmed some of your
own interests with this posting, and
will probably continue to degrade your own case through amateur mistakes if you
proceed pro se. While the government
should really dismiss this, they certainly still have a viable option to still
pursue it, but probably under theories of guilt other than the radar reading
(such as via your own admissions, odometer pace, etc.). I have actually seen very comparable
prosecution moves in past, that were still followed by convictions.
