People v. Garcia and Mismarked Police Reports

Police officer testifying in Court
For the record mismarked, wrongly worded, and badly timed New York police reports will not get a case dismissed or reduced. In a August 2018 DWI case of People v. Garcia, the defense attorneys filed motions to get a case dismissed based upon a lack of operation. You see the New York police report aka the 710.30 form has check boxes.

What happens if the police don't check some boxes? What happens if the police mischeck some boxes? What happens if the police misstate the times of the arrest, the color of the car, the make of the car, the model of the car, and even the streets?
