What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? California. What are my chances of getting a ticket thrown out, or at least reduced fines, on the basis that the officer made three mistakes writing up the ticket, therefore he could have been mistaken about other things too? One mistake was, under the date to appear, he wrote the date that we actually got the ticket. He also spelled our last name wrong, adding a letter that isn't even in our name(other than, say, duplicating a letter). And under sex, he put M, which I am not. My point being, his mind wasn't on the task at hand, so he couldn't been wrong about other things too. (Oh, he also referred to my daughter as"the boy", which she looks nothing like.)
