What can I do when an officer writes Gay,Utah on a traffic citation?
I got a traffic citation on I-70 WB mile marker 213 in Colorado and
on the ticket where it says registered owner name/address he wrote
Swift Leasing 6500 W Industrial Hwy Gay,Utah. I parked my car at
the Swift Terminal in Salt Lake City,UT. The truck is licensed in
Indiana and my driver license is from Idaho.

As a general rule, a clerical error on a traffic ticket is insufficient cause for dismissal of a case; an administrative mistake would include the writing down of the town in which the ticket eas issued. Such mistakes will be corrected on the citation by a judge, so the case will not be dismissed.
