Can I fight my underage at all because the cop messed up on a few things?
I recently got an underage drinking ticket. To start off the cop wrote the wrong address down on the ticket. I know that’s not a big thing. Next after he handed me the ticket he didn’t explain it at all. Then I asked a bunch of questions which he had no answers to. Now the cop called me today saying that he put the wrong dollar amount on the ticket and i actually have to pay more money now. Im no expert but it seems like he messed up on a few things. Is there anyway I can fight this ticket given that information?

You can always fight any ticket received. However given the fact that you have been assessed an underage drinking ticket, you face the possibility if convicted of not being able to get your driver's license well after you are sixteen and if you have a driver's license, it could be suspended for at least a year or more.
I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney as to the best way to try and resolve the predicament that you have found yourself in.
