you want out of the ticket because no one else was caught?

how do you know the officer didn't write the license plate numbers down and serve the ticket by mail to the other cars?

It wasn't a police officer who wrote you it was a traffic agent.

You can't use the "everyone else was doing it but only I got caught" defense. That does NOT work. Neither does the "big bus" excuse.

You CANNOT by law enter an intersection unless you can get through on the far side at the time of entry. Be more careful. It's call "blocking the box" or "spillback".

You're lucky you got a parking ticket. If a police officer wrote you it would have been a moving violation with a $120 fine and two points on your license.


You have no valid defense. You can try to fight it but you will lose, in all likelihood.
