It depends heavily on if you have counsel. An attorney would give a godd argument, but if you are not familiar with the law, the terminology, and the flow of a courtroom and try to use that defense yourself it probably won't help.
There are better ways of getting out of it when using the "officer was mistaked" card. What kind of equipment was he using? Does he/the department have records of the calibration of that equipment? Was the officer required to log that he checked the calibration that day or after he last used the equipmnent? Technicalities are a lot more effective if you use them on the technical fronts, not common mistakes on the ticket itself.
