    Default Can You Beat a Ticket for Running a Stop Sign Based on Clerical Errors

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California.

    I got pulled over for a STOP SIGN violation while returning back from work, at 9.15PM (below my apartment). The cop has mis-stated:

    1. The "date of violation", instead of 10/25/13 it is 12/25/13.
    2. The "on or before this date", instead of 1/29/14 it is 1/29/13 (This date indicates the last date to appear at the place indicated on citation.)
    3. Color of car, instead of "Olive Green" it is "Gray".

    I got a court date where the officer will also be present, I would like to defend the case (no legal background - an engineer by profession) and have the following questions are:

    1. What should I start by saying?
    2. I have collected proof that on the "mis-stated date" I was somewhere else - Can I use this to argue?
    3. How can I file for discovery. I went to the DA office and they indicated that only a lawyer firm can file for it, OR if the judge sends a letter stating am defending the case by my-self - then they can accept the request.

    Please advise.. If there are prior posts with similar content, please point me to them. Appreciate all your folks help!
