What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Hi everyone.
I got a ticket for what I thought was Parking Prohibited/Street Cleaning, fine is $73. I was visiting a friend and I totally forgot it was Street Cleaning Day, between 10:00a to 12:00p, so I know I'm guilty. But looking over the ticket, it said Double Parking, $68 . I want to contest this ticket because a) I am NOT guilty of that offense and b) I am plain broke. How could I "double park" when my car was the only one parked at that time? Obviously, the Parking Enforcement Officer made a mistake on the code violation (lucky for me, isn't it?). I want to exercise my rights to contest this citation. How do I go about writing my defense? What are the things I should point out? Can anybody give me examples? Will they dismiss it or will they send my the "corrected" ticket?
I appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.
