Bait and switch

I am not a police officer, but have had good friends and customers who were and are. I respect law enforcement and the difficult job that it does.

However . . .

I received an honest-to god bogus speeding citation in September of last year in Texas. the charge: 66 in a 60. Yeah, yeah, I know everyone says that they weren't speeding. But I really wasn't. Of this I am absolutely positive. So just accept that part. The jurisdiction was 200 miles from home, but because of my certainty that I was in the right I contested.

Shouldn't have bothered. In spite of my research, abundant evidence, and (I thought) persuasive arguments, they just were not interested in hearing what I had to say. It was quite an experience. I guess they need the money.

That's not the bad part, though. Here's the bad part: The officer who testified against me was not the officer who wrote the citation. He CLAIMED to be and wore the badge, but he clearly was not. He probably switched badges with the real guy, who couldn't make it, or didn't want to. It's been nearly a year, so maybe they just thought I would not notice.

I have an exceptional memory for people, and the guy who wrote me up was 40ish, probably 6-2, sandy brown hair with hazel eyes. The officer who testified was maybe 5-10, 27-30, babyfaced, quite paunchy with blue eyes and black hair. It confused the hell out of me and I did not know what to do about it.

A quick look at the real officer's stats will confirm this, and form the basis of my appeal. How would you guys suggest I go about this?
