What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
I got a parking ticket for a "Missing Inspection Sticker", but my ten day extension sticker wasn't missing, it was right there on the window, but it was in fact expired.
I'm thinking I can fight it, because the ticket is for the wrong violation. I got a parking ticket dismissed once for double parking because, well, I was on the street, but there was no car to my right, he had pulled out. The judge dismissed this because, technically, I wasn't "double" parked. That tells me that these tickets have to be very specific and the written infraction has to be within the definition of the violation.
On the back of the ticket it says for missing inspection/registration tickets, mail them the ticket with a not guilty plea with a copy of the inspection/registration. Yeah, the judge would want to kick my ass after seeing the date on the bottom, but I'm providing them with the document, it's not missing.
Could I win with this technicality?
