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.......

No offense, but this is incredibly bad advice.
Recommending perjury (a FELONY) in terms of "do you remember being pulled over" is beyond ridiculous. Also, a perjury conviction will be admissible against you in court automatically for the next 10 years as evidence of bad character in any possible case involving you. Also, a felony conviction will ruin your life. Why would you ever be this dumb?
Furthermore, the license plate number is so far from relevant here. The cop has your DRIVER'S LICENSE, registration, and insurance. Unless your argument is that someone stole your ID and was driving a different car this is a wash. Also, in CA, a fair amount of highway cops have car cameras anyway.
But the clerical error does nothing to refute the fact that YOU were driving the car. You can do a crime in someone else's car and it's still your problem.
I am constantly amazed by the amount of people willing to lie in court to avoid dealing with their own mistakes.
As usual, insert the standard disclaimer that I'm not giving you legal advice and I'm not your attorney, yadda yadda.
EDIT: The basic reasoning issue I missed because I was so focused on the finer points is that it is a FACT that he was pulled over by the officer.
How do we know this? BECAUSE HE IS HOLDING A TICKET ISSUED TO HIM AT THE SCENE! So that pretty much erases any chance he has of pulling a "Shaggy" and arguing "it wasn't me"...
