    Exclamation Got a Ticket by CHP, Got My Age and Date of Birth Both Wrong

    My question involves a traffic citation from the state of: California

    I got a ticket late at night for going 90 mph on the I15 where its 75. The two officers who were there did 2 sobriety checks when I wasn't drinking at all and had to spend that whole day by a computer although it was very late at night on a weekend when this occurred. I had a female companion in the car who can verify this as well. They wrote down a ticket for me going 89 and got both my age and date of birth wrong, 18 born in '92 when I'm 28. This upsets me when I log on to the online site. Anyway, my friend who's a police officer in NYC says that if its the wrong birthdate and age then its grounds for dismissal. I'm not sure if that's the case but I'd like to try fighting this. Is it better to do trial by declaration or to go in to the court appearance? Thanks for any advice.

    Unfortunately, a minor error as the one you described, and since it is not related to the elements of the offense you were cited for, is NOT grounds for a dismissal. But you're free to try it for yourself.

    I just realized that the driver license and the the state it was issued in is wrong as well. I have an Oregon license and here it says CA and the number is completely different than my actual license number. I think I have a stronger case for dismissal now.

    If you go to court and say, "This is my real name, this is my real DOB, this is my real driver's license number, and this is my real state of issuance for my driver's license", you may well get the ticket dismissed - but you could find that it is reissued with all of that correct information you were kind enough to provide.
