What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
Hi. I live in Milwaukee, WI. My wife has gotten a parking ticket in front of my house on each of the last two nights (August 21st and 22nd).
On the first night, my brother left for work at 4:15 AM and moved her SUV from behind his car to the front of my house. It was then ticketed at 5:56 AM. I have an even numbered address so, if her car had been parked on the street all night, it was supposed to have been on the other side of the street, not directly in front of my house, but like I said, my brother didn't put it there until 4:15 AM, when he left for work. Milwaukee, as I've been told, has alternate side street parking all year round from 2:00 AM until 6:00 AM.
On the second night, in order to avoid having my brother move her SUV again, my wife parked directly in front of my house. Since the date before midnight controls the side of the street we are supposed to park on, and it was the 22nd of August, she parked on the correct side, according to the statute. She received another ticket, though, at 3:55 AM and the remarks on the ticket say "No Permit". I know of no statute in Milwaukee that requires a permit to street park.
Now for the interesting part. I live on a "place", not a "street". There is a 52nd Street in Milwaukee and a 52nd Place. The truck, on both nights, was parked on 52nd Place. On both tickets, though, the address is given as 52nd "Street".
Will the "street"/"place" technicality allow me to get these tickets thrown out? If not, do I have any way to get out of one or both of them? Should I fight them or is it worthless to do so?
Thanks for any information I get.
