New Jersey-- State of
Got a parking ticket in Morristown, NJ..for parking on the street...at a time of day period that
one needs a resident parking permit sticker. It was dark out and did not see the small sign
that was there in dark letters on dark background.... have a 47 dollar ticket...
The Ticket says.... The Undersigned Certifies that...Did Unlawfully Operate A...
(And it has my Liscense Plate number) and DID COMMIT THE FOLLOWING OFFENSE..
4- Residential Parking....
What are my chances if I see the prosecutor before the case..and point out to
him that in Black's Law Dictonary..that the word- Operate means..
1. To run some part of machinery or a business. 2. To function properly. 3. To perform medical surgery.
Since I was not in the car, and it was parked and not running at all....
I was not able to OPERATE...the car...
Do you think I have a chance in court based on the definition of the Offense on the ticket?
Or, would the Prosecutor tell me to take a hike?
Thank you to anyone who reviews the item.
