now what?

I received disclosure for my ticket. Not surprisingly, the officers statement is wrought with errors - his location, says he heard me rev the engine from 300 + meters away, who was in the vehicle with me, etc. So...it says on the website that likely the disclosure will just be the officers hand writ...
