I live in WA state. So I have an unregistered car that is parked in front of my house on the road. I have been researching the code used on the ticket (46161030) and found that this is the code for a car that is parked and unregistered for 45+ days (true), however the car is not being operated and yet, the office issuing the ticket (found on windshield) marked the violation as a "traffic" violation. Is a parked car that has been parked and not operated since before the registration expired a traffic or non-traffic violation?
We drove around the neighborhood and found 2 other cars with the same "move it or we'll tow it" warning sticker, but NO tickets. We even spoke with the one neighbor who recieved a notice and he didn't get a ticket (even though he is parked within 30 feet of a stop sign). So why the ticket for us and not anyone else, and can it be thrown out for being marked incorrectly?
RCW 46.16.010: Licenses and plates required ? Penalties ? Exceptions ? Expired registration, impoundment. This is the website I found with definition on it but can't find anywhere what kind of infraction it is. Oh, and I also found somewhere a "fee schedule" for this infraction code and found it to be $133, but I was ticketed $216.
Help?
