Cop wrote my ID incorrect on ticket

I think H2O_Doc is on the right track here. The cop made an honest mistake (which, as Stealthrider2 points out, can be fixed), you are still you, and you are likely to piss the judge off with your outhouse lawyering.

Generally, if I chose to speed, I pay the ticket. :shrug:

The only ticket I have ever fought was my first one - a reckless driving charge. Cop said my ten year old 1964.5 Mustang with a 200 CID straight-6 was spinning both tires for two blocks. I told the judge that if my car could do that (it didn't have the power nor a posi), I'd be glad to pay the fine but my POS car was lucky if it would bark a tire. Judge knocked it down to careless driving (I did have it to the floor while banging through the gears), which was about 1/10 the fine.

In every other case, I was at fault so I paid the fine without going to court. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong; why fight it?

Yeah, if you don't mind a point on your record and throwing away a few hundred dollars then by all means keep paying your hard work, sweat, and time to the government whom do not give a damn about your well-being

You won't get away with it. They have your address and plate number. He misspelled your name a little and got you lic # wrong by one number, but what are the odds that it wasn't you?. If you go to court they'll ask you if that was you that he stopped. Are you going to lie under oath?

Just pay the fine. You broke the law. Man up and take your medicine.
