Hi All; Big stupid mistake I made. Tearing up the grass of a business, slid sideways, tipped my truck up on its passenger side. Karma... Anyway, the officer charged me with Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle and Mischief under 5k. I know these are criminal in nature. However, the officer made three mistakes on the summons/ticket. 1) He had the date/day wrong for the notice to appear. He wrote "Tuesday, October 14". The 14th is a Monday. 2) He had the day/date wrong for court date. He wrote "Monday, December 13". The 13th is a Tuesday. 3) The date of Issue for the infraction was written as "December 5". This happened on November 5, so technically, I'm being charged with something I haven't done yet. Anyone have experience with these many and types of errors? Thanks,

Anyone have experience with these many and types of errors?

Wrong forum. Criminal matters are much more serious and you should get a lawyer. Criminal matters are not usually tossed from wrong dates. They are not fatal and dealt with by a new appearance notice if the court date is wrong. OPS Copper

Fatal errors only apply to regular traffic tickets with set fines, not summons (provincial or criminal).
