Parking on Crosswalk in Calif., residential area

[genie2196uk]

I am very cynical concerning certain areas of the law.
I received a citation for CVC 22500(B); Code 16 Crosswalk. The ticket is timed at 0742 AM.
I parked, overnight, in front of my house, in a street with no designated parking or parking permit system.
The remarks section piqued my cynicism. It reads: "Space not designated parking", and "unoccupied".
Do the remarks imply that there are exceptions or valid extenuating circumstances? Why add remarks, if the violation is clear (in this case, parking on a crosswalk)?

Thanks

David

The potential for remarks is a cause for cynicism?

Considering that the officer was citing you for parking in a crosswalk, those "cynical" remarks probably indicated that it WASN'T a space designated for parking (which it wasn't), and that no one was using the crosswalk (it was unoccupied). Neither of these "remarks" have anything to do with the fact that you violated the law by parking in the crosswalks.

You ask, "Why add remarks?"

We reply, "Why ask why?"

Pay your ticket and be done with it.
