Thread: Question on a parking ticket

    I received a parking ticket for parking a commercial vehicle in a no-parking zone. When I received the ticket in the mail the street address was missed spelled at the location the ticket was given, is this a good reason for dismissal. The ticket is $200.00

    If Her454 were a judge, she'd throw that misspelled shit out on it's ear.

    If you plead not guilty and request a hearing (the only way the ticket can be resolved, absent a guilty verdict) the Officer will be there for the hearing. You will testify that the Officer made an error when issuing the ticket, ie spelling the address name wrong.
    The Officer can request that the ticket be ammended to reflect the correct spelling.
    But that really doesn't matter, since you have just admitted guilt, and that you indeed parked in a no parking zone.
    Short answer...
    No.
    Pay the ticket.

    I tried that with a speeding ticket I got once. The cop fukd up like 5 things on the ticket. He misspelled the street name, got my birth day wrong, put my age down wrong (4 years off) got the color of my vehicle wrong, and wrote the court date for 2004 and it was 2005. I took it to court and the only thing it did was make the cop look like he was one of Jerry's kids. The judge told me I had to prove that it wasnt me who was driving to get out of the ticket. He then went on to ask me why I thought I could take the ticket to trial to get out of it, to which I replied "I didnt have the money to pay the ticket at the time and thought this would be a good way to save some money to pay it" (I had plenty of money to pay it though I was just hoping that the cop wouldnt show up) That just pissed him off and I still had to pay the ticket. But at least I got to make the cop look like an idiot.

    You admitted that you parked illegally, man up and pay the ticket.

    Administrative hearing process. Will consume 1/2 day minimum when all is said and done, assuming thye have a light calendar. Double that amount of time if you appeal it to a court hearing. The only question is ~ how much is your time worth?

    I was in traffic court in Orange County once, and a guy had gotten a ticket and the cop had mispelled the street name. The guy brought in a Thomas Bros book and showed the judge that there was no such street. He asked the judge " if there is no such street, how could I possibly be speeding on it". The judge dismissed the ticket.
