More details to this question:
I was issued an APC, and on the ticket the officer did not fill out any info as to make, model, year, color, license plate number, and state of registration. Also, he has written down a completely wrong location.

Maybe. A judge might decide to dismiss it. Police officers use their notes to help them testify and if he does not come across as credible in the suppression hearing, a judge may decide to dismiss it.

Unfortunately, the error can be easily repaired and the court will allow the officer to amend it. Your attorney should make the argument.

Not unless you go to court to dispute it. All they need is your name on the ticket to prosecute you.
