Reply to Disputing Unlawful Parking Tickets by FAROUTRHUBARB

Dispute it out of principle if nothing else. Speaking from recent experience, you will get the runaround and it may take up to a year to get your hearing. The judge will most likely not give you the chance to state your argument (that would require admitting there was a mistake) but they will knock the price down. It may not seem worth the trouble, but they are on a rampage with the bullshit parking tickets. Just paying the ticket without disputing it is letting them get away with it.

A $50 parking ticket is 1/5000 of my annual and I still won’t pay it. Idgaf. I got a parking ticket fall of 2021 that was unlawful and I just got it disputed and cleared in January. I simply told him that I wanted a court date that they scheduled for last January and they ended up having to move it to this January for some reason and I just got on zoom and pled not guilty and they ended up dismissing it. It’s very easy and worth the 5 mins on Zoom.

Are they still doing zoom parking court? If so, it's worth fighting as it's about 25 mins of your time. Hopefully you took pics of you parked so you can show the judge. We went to fight one where people had put up no parking signs that morning (vs the two days in advance). Which meant we didn't really have proof (except it was literally directly in front of our house and they ended up putting the sign on our front door so we would have seen it). But still got the ticket knocked down to $15.
