What is the name of your state? Minnesota.
I was ticketed today for underage tobacco possession. I did not have an ID on me, and told the officers that my birthday was 2/27/89, although it is 2/27/90. Through some system that they would not reveal to me, they determined that it was 2/27/90, ignoring my objections, so I was cited for both false information (609.506) and underage tobacco possesion (609.685.3).
However, through an apparent error, the ticket states that my DOB is 2/27/89.
This raises two questions from me;
1. Does this error discredit the ticket, i.e. I have been cited for a crime that according to police information it was impossible for me to have done?
1. On another matter that I am not sure of, if I have not taken any oath and I was to lie to a court clerk, would that be construed as perjury in a MN juvenile court?
Thank you for a response,
