If a cop wrote the ticket out to the wrong person does the ticket go away?

My friends and I (in 3 separate cars) were all headed to our friends apartment. They were following me because they didn't know where to go. A cop pulled up next to the car behind me at a red light and honked his horn and yelled at her to pull over. When the light turned green she turned into the parking lot and I turned at a gas station across the street because she was following me so I did not want to leave without her. The cop told her she was tailgating and she explained she was following me and he gave her a ticket anyway. Then while I was waiting for her in the gas station parking lot the same cop pulled up behind me and put his lights on and asked why I was swerving, which I was not at all. I knew he was behind me so I know for a fact I was being extra careful, even though I always

Based on the facts you presented, the ticket can be reissued to you. Good luck.

The cop will most likely be believed unless there is video form the gas stations showing otherwise. The person behind you may have been tailgating you. The cop saw that. The fact she was following does not lessen the offense. On your tickets they have the wrong person. Those ticket have to be dismissed based on the ID of the cop. The question is whether your father will give you up. If the cop had the license why did he write it as he did?

Your statement of facts is unclear need to know more..... The ticket can be reissued to you if done within a certain period... I believe 60 days (would have to check that). The other person can get a dismissal if he can prove it was not him
