Is this ticket an inspection ticket or a regular ticket? If it's a regular ticket, the clerical error might get you off since the brand of car would be on the registration (if he even looked at it) and the missing numbers from the license plate is for sure a goof. It never hurts to go to court. Dress nice, shows respect to the court. If you can find any other vehicles with the same numbers/letters on their plates you could take pics and take them to court and say that you found X numbers of cars with the same numbers/letters as yours (the ones that are on the ticket) and point out that since there are numbers/letters missing, which vehicle is this ticket for? Cop goofed, whether the Judge will dismiss it or not is another question. Obviously if the ticket is missing numbers/letters how can the cop prove he wrote YOU up?
Now the cop or judge could try and be tricky and ask if you remember being pulled over and I'd answer no, I don't drive a Subaru.
If your tag is (example) ABC 001 and the cop wrote down ABC and not the 001, there are 998 other cars out there that start with ABC and I'd be willing to bet that more than one of them is a Scion or Subaru.
If the cop car has video in it, this is probably all moot.......
