missing plateWhat is the name of your state? Arizona I live in Arizona but was visiting my sister in Berkeley, CA when my liscense plate was stolen. I immediatly reported it to the police. A few days later while waiting for DMV in AZ to mail me new plates I got a parking ticket for a missing back plate. I had a note on the back window with the police report # and the situation but I guess it was not seen. I contested the ticket. My sister just recieved a letter in her name, which I guess was taken off the return address sticker. It stated I must for a correctable ticket have the problem corrected, have a poice officer sign the citation and mail in a $10 penalty fee or mail in the entire citation plus $10. and request a hearing which of course seems crazy since I live out of state. This seems very unfair. Do I have to pay it? They do not have a liscense plate # since it was missing, but they do have my vin #.

| Yes, you do. Filing a police report does NOT let you off the hook for parking illegally.

| You can contest the citation through the procedures provided by the issuing agency. I suspect that if you bring or submit a copy of the plate theft report dated PRIOR to the parking ticket that they will dismiss the parking violation. - Carl

| So if someone steals your liscense plate, you are are just double screwed becuase you are also illeagally parked untill your dmv can reissue you a new plate? I guess im lucky I didnt get a ticket everyday untill my new plates arrived.

| The alternative would be that everyone would remove their plates so they could get free parking. What do you expect to have happen? You get a parking ticket, you contest it - that's how it works. The cops and parking enforcement officers are not mind readers. - Carl

| Im not sure why you are calling it free parking, I did have money it the meter thats not the issue the ticket was for a missing plate. And I did contest it with a copy of my police report and got denied that is what im upset about.

| His point is that people could find a way to take advantage of the situation for their own purposes.
