The violation is correct. Any small errors can be amended in court.

No, those errors are common and what they do usually is ask to correct the record! A smart person would object as his error is not your problem. He made it he owns it! But the reality, in most cases they are not thrown out as it is such a minor element. At least as they view it.
What did he do to get arrested as you don't get arrested except for DWI in most places. You don't get arrested for speeding! If that is the case, he should get a lawyer and I am sure they will argue about it in court as it could become a major issue!

Unfortunatley, the ticket will not get thrown out because of just the date on the ticket.

The ticket has to accurate, as you thought. The key is the time of day of the total events. The time "swings" when the clock strikes 12. 12 midnight is the start of a new day. It is the past day until then. On the date technicality, depending on the person's traffic record, it could. It may be hard, depending on what he did and what I said regarding his record (ie: how many traffic offenses of ANY kind, any unpaid tickets, outstanding warrants, etc). All of this, taken into account, can mean a great deal.

The ticket probably won't be thrown out because of the date. It's a collateral issue that doesn't go to the substance of the offense. If your friend is going to fight the ticket, he/she will have to fight it on its merits, i.e., he/she didn't speed or drive recklessly or whatever.

the "friend" could try and fight it, but if the county needs money, then it wont get thrown out.
