Do you think that will fly? It looks like your argument is that the wording on his badge had not been updated at the time of the stop?

I like the argument about using the surname on the ticket when it requires his name. However I think you are pretty much named Roberts from the moment you were identified by California driver license - as the officer testified.

Anyway, I doubt either argument will avoid conviction even in the appellate process. Public policy will override the minor technicalities you brought up - but May the Force be with you! That would be really cool if you could have such a photographic memory and pick apart minute details compared against stacks of regulatory guidelines and win in traffic court. Makes me glad I carry a good digital camera on my belt.
