Is this something I can fight and will an error like this be grounds for the ticket being dropped and dismissed?? |
It's going to depend on the local jurisdiction, so I can't be absolutely sure, but that is one of the few errors which could invalidate a citation. I've seen 'em get tossed for that very reason, but for very few others.
Even if it does get dismissed, there's nothing that says an officer couldn't reissue a new one.
