    Unhappy Officer Wrote Wrong Court Date on My Summons

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: NJ
    The Officer wrote the wrong court date on both of my summonses. I visited the municipalities court website and it shows the court date 2 days prior to the date the Officer wrote. If I appear at the courthouse on the date the Officer specified and there isn't any court, what happens to me for missing my court date that the Officer clearly wrote. (Officer wrote 22, the website shows 20 and states that court is the 3rd Monday of each month which would be the 20th).

    file a motion to dismiss; it stays any further actions until it is ruled upon; therefore, the pending hearing date is automatically stayed.

    Well, since you have already (presuming you have the MONTH as well as the day correct) discovered the error, why not just go to court on the 20th? If you go to court on the 22nd, and there is no court that day, you will probably avoid a failure to respond if you show where the officer marked the 22nd. However, it's not going to cause the charge to be dismissed, either! You will simply be rescheduled and have to come back to court on another day.
