Legal Question in Traffic Law in Minnesota

I got a ticket for going 90 miles per hour in a 65 zone by an Anoka County Sheriff in Minnesota, the officer listed my vehicle and license plate wrong, could this be considered grounds for dismissal of the ticket?

There is a slight possibility but very unlikely, the challenge will be addressing it in court. Essentially - if this was taken to trial, the officer would state that he saw you driving fast and pulled you over and that he saw you and can identify you as the driver. That's about it - he doesn't need to show that the vehicle and license are the same as what was listed on the ticket. But it does hurt his credibility.
