If the officer who wrote the ticket wasn't the one who saw it and he put his name as the witness (assuming that means he's the witness to the infraction and not to your signature,) your best bet is to request the recording of the traffic stop where he says the other officer saw it and challenge the validity of the ticket for it. You have to get it dismissed on procedural violations because judge isn't going to believe some guy over a respected, honored protector of the community (even if he was out raising money instead of actually protecting and serving the community.)
