Question: Are they required to put on the ticket that you can go to court to fight it? I received a ticket and no where on it did it state that I could contest it- only three ways on how to pay it! I'd love an answer. Thanks.
What you people do not realize is that the police in our communities are FORCED to issue parking tickets because the people YOU elect or fail to elect demand that revenue to fund their weekly/bi-weekly paychecks for doing nothing. Also, city engineers often may suggest no parking zones because it is just not safe for anyone to park there. You may not be bright enough to see that, but it is often the case. And as for the parking meters, with out that revenue, you would be screaming about the services that you wouldn't get because the meter revenue pays for that stuff. Figure it people. Its not that difficult. As for the person asking about the ability to fight a ticket, I would think that it depends on the ticket type and where you are. Typically, yes. An officer or his municipality must disclose what court you can go to and the date of your plea hearing. If its a municipal ticket, chances are, they won't want you to fight it because that would really like to have your money. And if you do fight it, the municipal court judge (who is hired by the municipality you received the ticket from) won't cut you any slack because the local government again, wants your money.
GET A LIFE!
LISTEN MAN, LIKE I TOLD YOUR DUMB ASS BEFORE: MOOOOVE THE FUUUUCK OOOOOUT go and live somewhere else,hell would be nice?,yes!
Your advice to ALWAYS fight a ticket does not mean "they" lose out. Hell, the cops don't mind that at all! They usually are paid for 3 hours of overtime for any court appearance they go to. So that just adds to their paychecks
Auburn Indiana our people get tickets for beeping thier horn or waving at local picketers some have been reported as high as 149.00 dollars
Cars kill. Cars are heavily subsidised by the state. If the minority of people who have a car want to pay a fair amount in tax and charges, they should pay many times more that they do now. There are far too many cars.
Some A-hole gave me a ticket for not parking head first in a parking space in a free municiple lot behind some stores. I had pulled into the parking space infront of the one I pulled into becasue it was empty. I wish they would concentrate on solving crimes instead of bothering people who who choose to patronize businesses in their town.
It's funny how this "spider" character is all in support of traffic tickets until he gets one. I have received two parking violations for parking in front of my own workplace. The office where I work is right next to a high-school, so the small court on which the office is located is designated "One-hour parking". Parking in the back parking lot is impossible, as it is always full. Even if I were to get a space there in the morning, I have to leave and return many times throughout the day, and the spot would quickly be filled. On top of that, the parking lot is crowded, people (usually customers of the local businesses and high-school students) regularly park in areas of the lot that are not designated for parking, making the lot difficult to maneuver through in my somewhat large truck. The parking control officer (we call him the Parking Nazi) knows that it is far more practically for me (and some of my co-workers) to park on the small side street next to our office, and I'm sure it tickles him pink when he gets to write us tickets. Every day we play stupid games: he tags our cars, and we roll them back, to get rid of the mark. Sometimes, though, maybe you're in a meeting all morning and you don't see him, he gets you. It is complete BS, a stupid little city ordinance made up to bring still more money to this already overly rich small town in the Silicon Valley. I thought laws were meant to protect us.
who ever typed this stupid story.....GROW UP YOU BIG BABY........
This person has a lot of time on his/her hands. Pay the meter and shut up.
Recently, I received a parking ticket that contained all the wrong information on it except my license number. I was never in that area, as a matter of fact, I don't even know where that address is. I called to get more information and rudely I was told it didn't matter if all the information was incorrect as long as they had a valid license number. I am so angry because I know this ticket does not belong to me and cannot understand how an officer can make a mistake on something so obvious as the color, registration month on the license plate and type of car. It seems to me that it's not only the parking meters that are the problem but everything associated with this department!!! Oh, before I forget they mailed me this ticket because supposedly I drove away before the officer could put it on my car!!!
I'm not exactly sure how it costs the police to go to court. Seems like if the "violator" contested a citation, the issuing officer would need to appear and swear to his side of things. Most cities and towns I know of pay their officers to go to court, so in effect, isn't contesting the citations only costing EVERYONE more in tax dollars used to PAY THE POLICE?
don't park there. you contest a fine when you already know that you will be cited if you violate? everyone has an excuse...police should be trying to catch the 'real' criminals! So long as it is someone else, doing some other violation. I don't recall anyone who ever admitted that they deserved a citation...but then , meter maids are just that...meter maids...not homicide detectives, narcotics agents, or any other enforcement officer. Tell a meter maid to go catch a drug dealer? that;s as stupid as telling a teacher to put out afire....not the same job!
There are a lot of good points on this page, I think you all should get together and gather some facts and figures and see if you can change the situation, instead of bitching back and fourth to eachother. just a thaught
My friend dropped me at a gas station stopping the car in a disabled reserved area. As soon as I got off the car a cop came and started writing a ticket. My friend said he was moving the car that had the engine still running right away. But the cop stood behind the car and told him not to move while he was issuing the ticket. Is this fair? We never really parked there. He only dropped me and he was ready to leave. Do you think I can fight this ticket ?

Hi,my name is william greg hutzley an i have 3 bullshit tickets in miami fla ,that has made life difficult getting insurance, can you help me get rid of them..thank you very much.. greg hutzley
America has an obsession with their cars. People drive two blocks away for something that they need and still either park incorrectly, dont pay the meter, park on the red, yellow, handicapped, block people's driveways, dont have a permit, double park, etc.etc. More than half the time it is drivers irresponsibility for recieving a ticket. Some people dont care where they park and many times inconvenience someone else. I have recieved tickets for parking in places I should'nt have. However, if you know you did wrong pay the fine, take it like a man, and dont do it again.
So what if your parked for an hour in a two hour parking zone and they tow your car and tell you you have outstanding tickets when you haven't actually recieved a ticket in months, and now hold your car hostage and you don't have the money to bail it out or the receipt form the tickets you paid before because silly you you thought 6 months down the road you wouldn't need the f'n receipt. so they say well F-U sir we'll leave your car which you couldn't sell for more than the cost of these made up infractions in some boso's garage until he tryies to sell it and finds its not worth his trouble and that no one wins. because by the time you have enough money to pay the made up infractions you won't be able to pay this jackass's trumped up holding charges because he was kind enough to hold onto that gem of a car they towed for no good reason. Oh well yes I could fight the man. sure, "excuse me extremely cranky woman that is under paid and all to menstral behind the parking board desk. it seems you hartless bastards towed my car despite the fact that it was only parked in a two hour zone for a single hour." hartless cranky woman-"Well, that kind of an attitude isn't gonna get you anywhere. all I know is they ticked and towed you car. you should have paid the fines hten they wouldn't have had to tow your god awful vehicle." victim/me - " see thats the thing. I have no outstanding tickets." cranky bitch of a whore - " thats what they all say. you expect me to just believe you and wipe your slate clean?" dumb, unsuspecting me - " well ya!" ass ramming whore - "If we did that anyone could say 'well i din't do that.' HA! You can pay your fine and then I will tell you where we've dragged that worthless piece of shit you drive around." angry, upset me - " Hey bitch! what the hell is your problem. do you have an f'n heart? What if I told you that the someone else saw that the car was only there an hour?" Bitch - "I would tell you that you still have to pay your old tickets to get your car." Me - " HOLY F'N SHIT! i CAN'T FUCKIN BELIEVE THIS! WHY IN GOD'S NAME WOULD THIS HAPPEN DID I KICK YOUR BROTHER IN THE NUTS OR SOMETHING? why? it makes no f'n sense. Well take this man. I can't afford to get the car so your stuck with it! Hu? how bout that bi-ach? " Bee-iach - "well then you won't be driving out of New haven anytime soon.....NEXT." DISSED ME - " SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........UH...." So thats what will happen tomorrwow when i try to rectify this situation. Good God!, the man has you by the balls. They fuck up, you pay. You fuck, you pay. lot of sense that makes.
To the writer of the above post: No , Foul mouthed dumbass loser, the only people who get f&^ked are stupid people like yourself who park longer than two hours and cant read their watch properly. Pay your fine and shut up!
The first message on this discussion really says it all,I can't say it any better.America is the best country I know but there's a lot of corrupt things going on.I received a ticket and it said on the envelope that if I fought it in court and lost that I could be made to pay $500.00 in court costs,what a way to scare people to pay and not want to go to court,I didn't fall for it but I'm sure many others do,I was blessed when I went to court and didn't have to pay the ticket. I read where the cops say they don't have enough manpower to fight crime the way they should,I wonder if they have time to do what the cops in Miami,FL do at night for fun,I was totally shocked when I read the story,they really look forward to working at night,easy money.Go to this site to read what those cops do when they could be somewhere stopping crime.I joined the group to help expose tese cops,you should join to,I think the more members the group has the higher it is inthe searches. http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/acarwarningforcouples

As seen on the History Channel at a LEGAL 212mph on a public highway!
How to get unconstitutional parking meters removed from city streets. If a city municipal corporation donates free parking to ANY city employee or government employee -- including judges -- but charges the public for pay parking, that is a violation of the Equal Protection doctrine of the US and state constitutions. Nonpayment of parking tickets cannot result in arrest for contempt of court, sinceparking tickets fail to meet basic requirements for service of process for civil lawsuits. Mafia tow-truckers, working on government contract or freelance, routinely tow/steal cars that are legally parked on public and private property, and routinely steal thes cars by denying to vehicle owners that no car was towed. Tow-truckers routinely own public parking lots, and routinely tow cars that have paid for parking.

HA HA HA! Dumb greedy lazy crooked cops are getting their pensions stolen by their Mafia bosses, while cops are busy meeting illegal quotas for traffic/parking tickets. Then when one of their cop buddies gets gunned down by drug-dealing "informants" salaried by police and protected from prosecution, the pussy cops whine about it.

Yes people, crooked cops suck which means all cops suck and so do bullshit tickets and fines and if you've never been arrested...well that sucks balls too especially when it's because the pigs were bored and had nothing else better to do. I was put in jail and charged for criminal trespass, misorderly conduct, obs. of a gov. operation, and criminal mischief 2nd degree all b/c i wouldn't leave while rent a cops were beating my boyfriend while he was in handcuffs(the police were there watching). This isn't a sob story,i'm just saying cops are on a POWER TRIP and loving every damn minute and what the hell can we do about it? once someone figures this out, i want to know
Hey I recently got a ticket for doubling up in the train station with my friend and the only reason why I did it was cause I was in Queens and didn't have the money to get back home. So my friend aggreed and we went thru. I know I was in the wrong there but me and my friend are only 16 and I doubled up cause I didnt have two dollars and they gave us both fines for sixty dollars. So what am I suppose to do? There honestly isn't a way to get this money and I only did it to get home.
Nobody is forced to give us tickets. I was ticket @ 4:01 at a meter while i was sitting in the car. The lady told me that the meter was up at 4. Should couldnt have walked to the next car or something but instead this dumb bitch had to hit me with a $115 ticket. The officials at city hall can park anywhere block driveways block fire hydrants double and triple park and thats fine. I think cops and city official are above the law. Thats why everyone hates them.
There are 3 ways to fight parking meters. 1) Fight the ticket in court. Cost them more money than they make. 2) Follow a meter-maid for an afternoon and plug every meter they write a ticket for. 3) Go buy a quart of fiberglass resin and a few large syringes. Squirt a few hundred meters full of it, that's about $150,000 in damage.
I am looking for a page that would include real life exaples in fighting a ticket live or over the internet. That would help all of us fight back better. ines

Take the $)&*^&*!@^ bus you nucklehead.
I have so many tickets i may as well turn into a piece of paper. It is disturbing to know, that no matter where you live, people don't like your driving. I go (all of these are tickets now) too slow, too fast, i don't change lanes right, i dont go thru lights right, i recklessly endanger (this while i am going 20 miles an hour over speed bumps), i dont signal correctly, i dont have on my seat belt, i dont have proper insurance papers when they are right there, i am speeding, i am speeding, i am speeding, i am speeding, well you get the idea....i cant do anything right. Then when i say, hey wait a minute, thats a LIE, they put me in jail for contempt of court. Anybody who thinks we dont live in a police state, just start protesting. Just start speaking the truth. You all will find out real quick what this USA has become. And folks, anybody who thinks they can turn the tide, its too late. The only hope is to leave this country, and quick. Unless you want to croak for standing up for the right.
Hi, I don't know when this was written, but it is so true!! I live in Santa Monica, California where giving parking tickets has reached a level of sophistication that is hard to believe. I have had my license suspended and the core of the problem lies with tickets that I contested, but never received answers for. Or so I thought. They sent them in unmarked white envelopes with no name or street address on them. I own a business and my apartment receives all junkmail known to mankind. Of course I throw things out that look like junkmail. If there isn't a bonifide return address I throw it in the trash. Before I realized this my outstanding tickets were higher than $300.00. I have had a long history in Santa Monica and have never, ever had outstanding tickets until this. I also own a business in a busy area and the city assigns as many as three ticket givers for our area because it's easy pickings. Every other area in the city has one person per shift!! Talk about businesses closing. You cannot escape a ticket in this area. People have come to hate the meter maids and in return the police and city for backing such an unfair system. And who pays for this? Low income, students, seniors, anyone who doesn't live or work in a high end area or profession? I am trying to organize a class action suit against the city. I need to find someone to help. I love your site. Thanks!
The bottom line is,Ever since the automobile was invented, the governments, local and otherwise, have found ways, to "Cash In" on the "party". You buy the car, you pay THEM, for registration, elsewise, you cant drive it!. Also, you have to submit to the legalized extrotion practice known as Vehicle Inspection, where some tree hugging liberal, determines just how much your car can emit, while city busses drive around with rings so badly worn, that unburnt fuel and crankase oil, is expelled in their exhaust.Should you fail to pass the inspection, you are ticketed until you pass it,even if you are waiting for parts or repairs! Better still are back in parking laws, created for the sole purpose of allowing "ticket issuing parties" to eaisly view inspection and registration stickers on windshields to make ticket writing all the easier! Basically,its all a load of crap, becasuse nobody but NOBODY, stands up against it. just us few.
This is a serious problem. Parking officers lie about just about everything on that ticket to pull a fast one on you. Parking enforcing is a low-life job, that caters to a petty insecure society.
im sick of the bullshit you cant shit without lawinforcement probing your ass.they are 21st hippicrits with a bage some even think there god until they bleed.i one day there children get a bullshit ticket or charg and it costs there ass a probing fortine.
The parking ticket is a Bill of Attainder. Bill of Attainder is defined as: "Legislative acts, no matter what their form, that apply to persons in such a way as to inflict punishment on them without a judicial trial is nothing more than a Bill of Attainder" (pains and penalties). U.S. vs Brown, 381 U.S. 437, 448-49. U.S. vs Lovett, 328 U.S. 303, 315. "A special act of the legislature which inflicts a punishment less than death upon persons supposed to be guilty...without any conviction in the ordinary course of judicial proceedings." 2 Wood. Lect 625. "The clause in the constitution prohibiting bills of attainder includes bills of pains and penalties." Story, Const. Sec 1338; Hare Am. Const. L 549; Cummings v. Missouri, 4 Wall. 323; Fletcher v. Peck, 6 Cran. 138. See also :Ex Parte Garland, 4 Wall 333 Garner v. Los Angeles Board, 341 U.S. 716 Christie v. Luethh, 61 N.W. 2d 338, 341 United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3; Article 1, Section 10 States " No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed." The parking ticket as applied to Free and Natural Persons is plainly a Bill of Attainder (Bill of Pains and Penalties) and violates the law of the land. The significance of the clause "law of the land" is said to be statutes that would deprive a citizen of the rights of person or property without a regular trial according to the course and usage of the common law would not be the law of the land. Hoke v. Henderson, 15 N.C. 15, 25 "By law of the land is more clearly intended the general law, a law which hears before it condemns; which proceeds upon inquiry, and renders judgement only after trial. The meaning is that every citizen shall hold his life, liberty, property and immunities, under the protection of the general rules which govern our society. Everything which may pass under the form of an enactment is not, therefore, to be considered the law of the land." Dartmouth College Case, 4 Wheat 518. The city issuing parking tickets is issuing complaints, determining guilt of an unknown individual with no proof the owner of the vehicle was the one who drove the vehicle, and imposing punishment in the form of fines all without due process and a judicial trial.

I have decided that if I don't do anything else before I leave the LA area that I will find an appropriate punishment for these assholdes. They give illegal tickets and the only person that helped me out of my situation was a very cool DMV lady. she knew what was going on....anyway you organize it and I may join it. so far mine is a private war.

It is said when life gives you lemons make lemonade. If you have panic attacks it is difficult to find the good, the happiness the joy in life. All I can say is "why me? "I have suffered from panic attacks since I was in public school. (I am now 51) I never knew why I couldn't go on those class trips. If my parents went out for an evening I got a stomachache and spoiled their plans. I grew and so did the panic attacks right into agoraphobia. I was housebound for many years and went for behavioral modification, worked for several years then thanks to stress I went back to panic attacks. My husband left me and 3 small children. I was forced to go to work. I couldn't travel so I had to work "close to home" which meant a paycheck that was very small. I am on Social Security Disability which amounts to a joke. My payments are so small I am eligible for Medicaid. The Klonopin I have taken for 10 years has caused my teeth to disintergrate. Have you ever tried to seek dental treatment at a teaching hospital? I would rather have an autopsy live than go through that again...and I say this with 3 broken teeth in my mouth. I can't afford a dentist. I cannot "do" crowds or afford an attorney, facts known by my former husband, so I have been unable to go back to Court to collect on my Judgment of Divorce", nice, huh? Two years ago we moved to Staten Island, New York, where I do not know a soul. My therapist just took a better paying job, does life get any better? Oh yes, I have a daughter who is a police officer and a son who is a fire fighter....I wonder how they do it. Where they get their strength from. Why can't I find an ounce of their strength? They face danger every day and I quiver and shake at the slightest thing. I used to be able to drive on the Belt Parkway. I no longer can, so I am pretty mad at myself. Why can I do some things at one point in time and not at others? Thank you for this site and for allowing me to vent my frustrations relative to suffering from panic attacks. Susan Esposito, Staten Island Susan204@AOL.COM
I paid a parking ticket and the postal service sent it back for lack of a return address. Now I don't have a copy of the ticket number or an address where to send it. I suppose that will cost extra.
I'm very happy to read strong and realitic comments like this. I'm with you 100%
I agree
Despite what alot of people are saying, you're not being a crybaby at all. And this far too many cars buisness... then go to china & ride a damn bike! What it boils down to is this city is insane. I am a TRUE NYER born & raised in the east village of manhattan, not a transplant complaining about a city that's not theirs. Motorists are victimized every minute of the day. If it's not an idiot pedistrian crossing against their light, it's a bike moron thinking they can ride into the street once again AGAINST THE LIGHT & THE WRONG WAY UP THE STREET creating accidents. Parking tickets are a joke & the cops & pathetic meter maids that write them LIE on more than 50% of them. Case in point, i parked in a space that is a LEGAL parking space that i have used many times before as well as everyone on my block. But on the last day of the month (sound familiar) i got a $150 ticket saying i parked in the crosswalk. Or how about the $115 ticket that said i parked near a hydrant even though the end of my car was CLEARLY away from the start of the res paint on the sidewalk. Then there's the $65 "missing equipment" ticket, but they still have yet to explain what was missing! There is a ticket blitz in this city & anyone with half a brain knows it. Many news stations have already spoken on this. Funny how the bulk of the tickets happen on the last day of the month!!! But ofcourse nyc says there's no ticket quota. If meters are not a problem, then why was the "meter fairy" arrested? The meter fairy was an older man who would roam the city with a bag of quarters & he would put change in meters that were about to expire. Know what your local NYPD did? Arrested him. They still have yet to say what law he broke.... The only people that hate cars are dizzy mush heads who think nyc was made for tourists & walking trips. GET OVER IT. Cars are never going away so learn to live with it. As far as the ticket blitz, i agree FIGHT EVERY FUCKING TICKET! Not every judge is bought & paid for & you may be able to get some justice for these bogus tickets. The problem with the people who NOW live here is that they don't own cars (many can't afford to since they're "artists & actors" hahaha), most can't drive anyway & they all want to ride bikes since they're living hand to mouth, so ofcourse they think you're a crybaby. Afterall they're living mighty hard having to share an apt with 4 strangers while they rush to their job as a server & could probably cycle there faster if your car wasn't taking up space, lol. Those who do own cars, fight the tickets & hold this city responsible.
Check out this site on how to fight parking tickets yourself, all it take is a lil time http://www.rebel101.com/fight_parking_ticket.asp
TAKE THE BUS.
i am outraged of the time the city would take sitting, the meter runs out give a ticket but not two it just shows there is a problem with the system and greed, its wrong
NYPD AGGRESSIVE ILLEGAL TOWING POLICY. TAKING LEGALLY PARKED CARS AND TOWING THEM TO ILLEGAL PARKING SPOTS. TICKETING THEM AND THEN TOWING THEM TO THE POUND. THIS ACTION IS DONE DURING THE WORKING DAY WHEN THE OWNER OR MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT AROUND. WHAT A SHOCK WHEN THE OWNER RETURNS TO FIND HIS CAR NOT AT THE SPOT WERE HE ORIGINALLY PARKED IT. NOW THE QUESTION? HOW DO YOU FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT YOU WERE LEGALLY PARKED BECAUSE THE ONLY PROOF IS YOUR WORD AGAINT THE TOW OPERATER WHO TOWED IT TO THE ILLEGAL SPOT.THE FINE IS QUITE EXPENSE . WHAT A SCAM. FIGHT BACK
Great page! Please fix couple of spelling mistakes: "Those that did park payed thru the nose". Correct spelling: paid. "A few tryed then died". Correct spelling: tried. I'm just trying to help! Keep up the good work!
I am getting sick of seeing all these bullshit like parking meter, sweeping,permit parking on the side road and so on, i am getting tired of getting a damn ticket, parking should be free coz we pay a fucking taxes on road, we can park your car anywhere you want while you shop and etc. of course police are a real crime fucker.
Going to court to contest a ticket feeds certain officer's salaries. And remember where the salary comes from? Tax-payers. Let's not forget that time is money. Contesting tickets takes a long time. Is it worth a penny or is it worth a day of work? I'm no proponent for big spending, but there are bigger battles that should be fought. Do you use spell check? You should.
Yep I agree with you man. I fight every ticket cause its a scam. I joined National Motorists Association. Check them out, they also promote fighting the ticket system. Jeff
