You can argue any ticket or criminal matter. Not for this reason however. Fighting and winning based on technicalities is an over rated concept. If you think you are not guilty and can prove it then you have a case. If you clearly broke the law the judge will ask if you did it or not? If your answer is yes, then you are guilty and subject to a fine.
I read a book a long time ago called "Fight Your Ticket". Don't know the author but I entered that into my browser and got several responses. Not the book I was looking for but at a glance it looked like something worth perusing. (Did you know police and radar have to be a certain distance away from a posted traffic limit sign in order to legally issue a speed violation? I didn't either, until I checked and I won that case by the way.)
So do some research and exercise your rights in court. Good Luck.

It would be thrown out by a court.
I had a parking ticket once and the ticket had the "wrong state" as my plate. It was an out of state plate. I had just moved there.
Thrown out.

Sometimes judges will throw out a ticket when it is incorrectly completed. This is a possibility, but it depends on the judge. Do you have proof of where the error lies? I mean actual physical proof, not just "Uh yeah, it happened on Main st, not Market st." do you have witnesses? Photos? Proof....

The judge will most likely rule it as a clerical error and change it to the proper street. This kind of defence used to work but not any more in most jurisdictions.

Be a man and take your lumps.
Pay the ticket.

Read the ticket. If it happened why bother?
