What is the name of your state? California
Need some help on how to go about contesting this parking ticket. I parked my car on a street in Torrance which had no signs posted about parking limitations. I had to go out of town, and when I returned back, got mails from the DMV, police department & the towing agency indicating that my car was towed as it was parked standing for more than 72 hours and now I owe them LOTs of money due to the towing,storage, Lien fee, etc., which is ending up more than the car's worth.
When I went to the Torrance Police Department - traffic center, they mentioned that it as per the municipal code, parking more than 72 hrs on a street is illegal, and when DMV issues the licence, we are expected to know the municipal codes as well. This code seems to be specific to Torrance area, and not in the other parts of Los Angeles. Expecting a person to know all the municipal codes as a pre-requisite for getting the license is totally ridiculous. Any suggestions on how this ticket can be contested is greatly appreciated.
