They shoot up my car here.

Then they kill a cat and use it's blood to write me a fine. Usually involves donating a body part.

no, thats only for serious offenses.


Say, jaywalking.

wait wut i dont get it.
Cop made a typo on the ticket. the chance he made 2 on the same one? not so good. Lying will never get you anywhere here lol

Maybe, but a good, high-paid attorney could use it to create doubt in a jury of his peers. And even if he loses, he could appeal at a higher court and it might make the difference there.

Depends on town, as here in boston......... street cleaning tickets are not written by police officers. Only written by meter maids

[Plow]

No reason not to try to fight it legitimately, but if you lie in court over $50 you're stupider than anyone ever imagined.

I'm sure he's not. Why would you have a "high-paid attorney" on a $50 ticket?

You can generally get a ticket dismissed for having ANY non-factual information on it, whether it is relevant or not.

This is why many police cars now have printers in them, and tickets are printed automatically with maybe one or two fields for the officer to fill-in, because even mispelling his own name could lead to a dismissal.

That said this applies to NY, since you don't even live in the US I have NFC.

Basically this.

Any kind of mistake on any kind of ticket instantly effectively will invalidate the ticket, it can be as simple as writing your cars color as brown instead of blue.

...in the US though.

What kind of screwball places do you people live that you think you can just walk into court and come away scot free if you win the case?

Court costs even if you win the case are usually at least as much as the standard fine, or close enough that nobody in their right mind is really winning here; and if they find you guilty the judge is free to award a higher fine if he deems it prudent, and often will just to smack down the little shits who think they can walk into traffic court and get lucky on a cop missing his court date.

Depends on city

Here in boston MA, if you get a parking ticket its 90% of the time from a meter maid.

If you get a ticket from a meter maid, you just go down to city hall say you wanna appeal it and they mail you a summons to a hearing (thats at city hall, not court involved) to appeal your ticket. A few months back, I got tagged for street cleaning..... even though it was not posted anywhere. So I went into city hall, said I wanted to appeal the ticket and a reason behind it and got a letter in the mail 2 weeks later saying my appeal was approved and I was all set. No fees, no court..... nothing.

It is different if it was directly from a police officer though, tickets are usually different color and will say if they are from transportation department or from the police department. Police tickets you have to appear in court like you said, and pay court fees and such.

Also he's trying to contest the time, which is the hardest thing to prove. I've only ducked one ticket, which wasn't even for me, some dumb ass meter maid in sacramento miswrote the guy's license plate down and it turned out to be mine. Car was same color but different make and model. Thankfully I was able to handle it over the phone, cause driving 2hrs to contest a ticket that wasn't mine would have sucked.

My friend has been calling me to talk about his ticket fighting experience. He's so excited to fight a speeding ticket when he was going 72 in a 55. First he served a subpoena for police records, which they said they don't keep 'cause it was electronic ticket. Next he goes to court and basically the police officer says he did it right and my friend was found guilty. Now he wants to appeal the decision even though they lowered his fine by almost half.

If you weren't guilty, go fight. If not, just pay the god damn fine.

Your thinking of police violations, or a small town...........

I live in Los Angeles.

For me, the $50 is more valuable than the time I'd spend trying to get the thing dismissed.

I find that reasoning flawed, because, you could just use vacation time and still get paid for it, if the hearing is while you're at work.

You are one of the most annoying mother fuckers on this forum, and that's saying something. A response like this only confirms that you're an oblivious dipshit pseudo-intellectual who remarkably manages to meander through their days, thanks only to their having a moderately respectable vocabulary. It fools the average dumbfuck, but hardly anyone else.

How is my reasoning "flawed" when I stated that the $50 is more valuable to me as an individual? Are you my boss? Do you expect me to get vacation pay? If so, where the fuck is my money, bitch?

As I said in my post, if the person's time is valuable enough to outweigh fighting the ticket, they should simply pay for it. If they're like me, and therefore consider fighting it more valuable than what they'd otherwise do with their time -- meaning they're not like you and don't have your fucking "vacation time" -- they should give it a shot, as they have a fair chance of winning.

In short, you basically repeated what I said as if it were a counter-point to my own statement. Try harder next time you fucking retard.

Wow, I didn't expect so much emotion from that. And I don't think anything I said in your quote came off trying to sound too intellectual. Unless I'm missing the point of your vocabulary remark. Either way, sorry to have gotten your panties in a bunch. I did go on to say afterward that I'd concede to your statement if what you simply meant was that there are other things you'd rather be doing.
