And the officer wil say "yes I made a mistake on the ticket, the actual location was ...... " and the case will continue.
A mistake on anFPN or NIP is only sometimes relevant if you are misled by it, from the Op post it appears they were stopped at the time, so can hardly claim to have been misled as to the location of the offence.
Not necessarily. The case hinges on the evidence presented. If the evidence is wrong there is no case. At best, the ticket will have to re-issued, but then that might mean the incident is out of time.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -

you tell us seeing as it was you who decided it.
Most people just like to find ways of getting out of things they don't like. It doesn't mean they're against anything. Why would anybody happily pay a fine if there's a potential way of getting out of it?0 -
