DUI/Impaired mistake on papers?

[undyingwish2]

I was served some papers on November 19, 2011.
The police just called me today and came to serve me another paper (collision report) But then he also said he needed to serve me another "Notice of intent to seek greater punishment" and I just noticed that on the first one he did not put 'time served' but on this other one he just gave me he did put the 'time served' --> 11:24am .

If I hadn't signed this paper would that be enough of a mistake to throw the case out of court? It was for an impaired. Please answer, thanks.

No, Tyler. LOL! a clerical error in this case is not enough to get out of a driving while intoxicated charge. nice try.

A clerical error to get out of a DUI? I get that question from clients all the time, and like Isis1 said, "No you are not going to get out of a DUI for a clerical error." If that were true, then a lot of people would get out of a DUI! Clerical errors happen all the time, but they don't absolve you of a crime!

Please answer, thanks.

You should answer the first question YOU were asked... what state?

In this case it doesn't seem to make much difference but if you are seeking help you need to provide basic information about the case - like where it occurred!
