Misquoted on ticket

[Kfrazier13]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

The police officer misquoted me on the ticket. He states I said "Sorry, I know I was going to fast", while in fact I said "Sorry, I DIDNT know I was going to fast."

He put this in the description. Does this give me any leverage to have the ticket dismissed?

No, not even close.

You need to tell us what state this is (and what you were actually cited for).

I can almost bet the officer had more evidence of your guilt than what he says you told him.

FL/speeding

He clocked me going over the speed limit. I didn't realize the speed had dropped 10, so I was going 13 over.
But I don't feel comfortable having a ticket on my record, that mis quotes me. I would never directly state I was speeding. Can they change it or remove that part? It's ridiculous he did that in the first place.

OK, Florida. Nothing written on the ticket matters at all in court. It's not admissible either by you or the state (the police officer). The police officer will testify to what he observed. He can testify to what he heard you say. You're free to offer your own testimony of what you said. I suspect with a radar and visual observation, he won't even mention your statement.

You admit to speeding. If you don't feel comfortable with a ticket. Don't speed. Even at the speed limit you though was in effect, you were still guilty. It's up to you to be percetive enough to know what the prima facie safe speed is. That's fair reason to write you a ticket in itself.

That does not give cause to dismiss the ticket. In fact you are still guilty of speeding st the 3 mph over.
