    So I got a ticket a couple of weeks ago. On the ticket the officer wrote the wrong year for my birthdate. So when i go online to pay it, if i put my real birthdate it doesn't pull anything up. If i put the birthdate he wrote down, it does. So Is that something I could beat the ticket for? The ticket was "deserved" but I could really use the funds elsewhere right now so figured it was worth a shot. Anyone know?

    Yes-- you should be able to beat it. Ask a lawyer.

    i doubt the tax collector will let you off just b/c the officer wrote something down on the ticket wrong, but I could be wrong. I wouldn't proceed with a lawyer route unless taking a chance on the ticket is worth the added cost a lawyer may charge.

    Interested to knwo the answer - keep us updated.

    You can USUALLY fight for mistakes on the ticket pretty easily.

    mistakes on the ticket that are not material to the offense will not cause it to be dismissed.
