What is the name of your state? Colorado
I received a Parking Violation Summons and Complaint for a parking violation in the City of Denver, Colorado. I would feel much differently about this issue if I had not deposited money into the parking meter. I violated Chapter 54, Article VII, Division 5, Sec. 54-513. Manner of parking.
(a) A vehicle shall be parked wholly within the parking metered space for which the parking meter shows a parking privilege has been granted.
Yes, I admit that the parking meter pole was at my dash, but only because the car behind me had parked the same exact way (I took pictures with my phone). I also did not see a parking ticket located on the vehicle behind me or the vehicle parked across the street, which was parked in the same manner.
However, the Parking Violation Summons and Complaint does not have a complainant signature.
According to Chapter 54, Article VX, Division 3, Sec. 54-823. Penalty assessment notice.(a)
"(a) A penalty assessment notice shall be signed and served on the defendant by a police officer and shall contain the name and address of the defendant; the license number of the vehicle involved if any; the number of the defendant's driver's license if any; a citation of the Code or statute section alleged to have been violated; a brief description of the infraction or violation; the date and approximate location thereof; the amount of the penalty and the surcharge prescribed; the number of points, if any, prescribed for such infraction or violation pursuant to the provisions of the Colorado Revised Statutes; and the date the penalty assessment notice is served on the defendant....."
So, I have an unsigned Parking Violation Summons and Complaint, that should be signed.
Any suggestions?
I fully intended to park in the spot I received the citation. I fully intended to comply with all parking rules, as indicated by me paying the parking meter. I was unaware of a Sec. 54-513. I know, ignorance is no execuse, but I was not fully able to comply with Sec. 54-513 because the vehicle behind me was not complying with Sec. 54-513. Additionally, I have out of state plates....I've only lived in Denver for a little over a week. There was a similar posting in California, I'm not sure what came of it.What is the name of your state?
