Basically yesterday,

I signal for a left turn, but instead of staying on the right center lane, i ended up in the right lane and the cop gave me a ticket for not signal on a lane change..

I would think improper left turn would of been the correct ticket.. Anyway to fight this ticket?

He also said that I didn't stop at the stop sign before I made the left turn.. But that was BS, cause I stop and then roll forward to check the road before making my turn.. He didn't give me a ticket for that.. but said he would bring that up if I go to court..

My question is, do I have to defend myself on tickets he didn't issue at the time?

From my understanding the cop can't bring anything up that's not in his report.

Wrong. The cop can give evidence to anything that he saw leading up to and including the traffic stop.

He can bring it up but you can not be convicted of the offence if you didn't receive a ticket for it at the time ( thats my understanding but please correct me if I'm wrong for the next time I go to court ). Plus you can make him look like he wasn't sure what exactly you were doing wrong, making your specific ticket less believable (hopefully).
