If my speeding citiation lists an incorrect direction of travel and incorrect owner, will that help dismiss the citation?

Errors and inaccuracies on any sort of police report or ticket can potentially be used to suggest that the police officer conducted a sloppy investigation or failed to correctly document the events surrounding the alleged crime. The best thing you could do would be to contact a qualified attorney to discuss the matter within the confines of attorney-client confidentiality. DISCLAIMER This response neither constitutes legal advice nor creates an attorney-client relationship. This answer is provided solely for informational purposes, for use as a starting point when speaking directly with an attorney. I urge you to immediately contact an experienced criminal defense attorney admitted to practice law in your state before making any more decisions on this case.

The error is sometimes helpful but usually only goes to the amount of confidence the judge will have in the officer. Little things like the direction are not really evidence. In fact, the court is not supposed to look at that part but only the charge. I have tried to make something out of it before, but usually, it is making a mountain out of a mole hill.

This error may help but alone will not invalidate your citation. Such errors do sometimes give rise to defenses that can be raised. You need to be represented by an attorney skilled in these matters, though, to take advantage of any potential defenses. Good luck to you.
