If a police officer spelled my last name wrong will I get off?

[albanwr26]

I got a ticket from the chp in light traffic for aprox 90 in a 65. no way I was going even close to that speed. Maybe 70/72... The officer was in a hurry. He also gave me a ticket for driving on a expired license. No, I had a extention at that time and he wouldnt look for it in the system. He was in a hurry or something. After he left, I noticed that he spelled my last name wrong. My name is Knott and he spelled it Scott. Also when I cheked online for a record of the ticket, it also said Scott as my last name. I was there and didnt speed that fast and the officer wrote the ticket with someone eleses name on it. I want to use the defense that he was in a hurry and made mistakes that were clear that day and a big mistake also he made that he said I was doing 90 mph. No way! He wasnt even in traffic. He came from an onramp after I passed by it. Do I have a chance? please respond with Ideas and positive feedback and not just "No you loose". Thanks, TK

No you cant win --- Pay the ticket they have all your information they need.

You could have a problem if:
You signed the ticket
Your car license # is on the ticket
Your DL # is on the ticket
You got recorded on the copy dash cam

Better just pay the ticket. If you fight it and lose it will probably cost you more.

No, you won't win because he mispelled your last name. But you can take a hearing and dispute the speed or take in bmv documentation of your license extension to get that dismissed,

"I wasn't going that fast!"

Now there's a unique argument you're sure to win in court. No, the misspelling of the name can be amended in court. So...

No you lose.
