If you actually go to court (or wherever such disputes are adjudicated in Cali) it may be dismissed simply because the cop does not show up. I can't answer about the year discrepancy because I did not practice that sort of law, but if I were a judge and you were standing before me I'd ask you "Do you dispute this was your car or that you were driving it?" In other words, unless there is a legally recognized escape hatch for those types of errors, I might find that gambit a bit annoying. You are better off I think simply making the police prove the case if you simply say "I think I fully stopped. There is no time limit for how long I have to stay stopped, so I don't know what he saw or precisely when he looked, but my practice is to stop." Just curious - how much is the ticket?
