Wrong Date (Month) on Moving Violation


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Broward county, Florida


My wife received an illegal left turn violation but the cop wrote the wrong month on the citation. Instead of 6 (June), he wrote 5 (May) - making the ticket already 31 days late on the date of issue. This was her first citation in 14 years of driving history.

1. Is she likely to get an overdue notice once the ticket is recorded in the county's computer system?

2. Could the wrong date be a possible reason for the ticket to be thrown out even before it is entered as the cop would be a month late in turning in the citation?

3. The ticket hasn't shown (yet) on the county's online fine payment option even after 11 days (7 business) have elapsed. Their FAQ says to wait up to 3 weeks. Has anyone had any similar experience with the ticket not showing at all even after 3 weeks and what to do in that case?

TIA

1. Not likely.

2. No.

3. Call the court if it doesn't show up after 3 weeks.
