Ticket incorrect

[danafair]

Texas Law;

If a speeding ticket has all the correct information but identifies me as a Black male when I am a white female, does this affect the validity of the ticket?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

No. Your color has nothing to do your violation.

While minor issues won't invalidate the ticket, I'd go to court on this. You still have the right to remain silent. Don't lie in court. But, don't testify either.

Tranq - go to court on what?

The ol' mime method of testifying. Judges love this.

Go to court and have the witness against the OP testify that was the person. Maybe have a black man represent the OP. If not, then, as pro per attorney, play games to see if the cop can tell between men and women and black and white.

Lot's of tickets get written. But, not that many list people with no relationship to the suspect. Absent some pigment/nutering medical procedure recently, I'd say the OP wasn't the person beyond a reasonable doubt.

Are you suggesting that the OP lie to the court?

The collection of racial data has no bearing on the validity of the ticket.

Being represented in court is not a lie.

If a cop writes down a white female as being a black male on the citation, all his eyewitness testimony will be in doubt.

Is that in writing or check boxes? If it is check boxes maybe the ticket got skewed and your copy appears to have different boxes checked than the original.

Fair enough - but you failed to respond to the second half of my post.

Furthermore, you stated yourself that what you are suggesting is merely "playing games"

You're right. I shouldn't have said that. My error.
