I received a moving violation in CA and the officer wrote the wrong reg. owner. Is that grounds to dismiss?

Question

I received a moving violation and the officer wrote down on the citation that the car was registered to me, though it is in-fact registered to my father. Is it possible to get this violation dismissed on those grounds? I live in Los Angeles. Thank you for your help in advance

Answer 1

I doubt it. Moving violations aren't associated with the car; they're associated with the license-holder. Also, don't you have to sign the ticket when you get it in LA? Your signature would be sufficient evidence.

Answer 2

The short answer is No.

Answer 3

No.  Clerical errors are not valid grounds to dismiss a case that has its own merits.

Answer 4

they probably wont dis-miss it,if they had written down the wrong violation on it the might dis-miss it,this is a minor mistake on their part,you may get lucky though and them dis-miss it this time but i doubt it,their pretty strict on moving violations out there ,good luck with it.
