| | | 9am parking enforcement, 8:50am ticket?
What is the name of your state? ILLINOIS
Parking enforcement was listed as starting at 9am -- when I went to the car to move it, I saw the ticket written at 8:50am (machine type, not hand-written).
This is a no-brainer defense, isn't it?
When I contested by mail, the category of basis for defense was not properly transcribed and was rejected. I took a photo of the ticket (which I had to mail in) and still have it.
Now they say my only option to contest is to bring it to civil court. Am I missing something, if enforcement starts at 9am and the ticket is written at 8:50am, they can't prove that I was in violation...right?
Thanks in advance |

| | | If what you said is correct, you can get it dismissed but you have to go to court.

It depends on the violation. For instance, in my city parking enforcement officers start at 9 am as well, but patrol officers have been giving out tickets all night for various reasons.
What did they say when you called them? |

| | | Two weeks is very long, the op will never even see the thread again.
And your advice was no where near significant enough to post on a 16 day old thread.
