I am from NJ - Got ticket in NY City outside Museum of Natural History
I was coming out of parking of AMNH. I paid parking charges at 3:30 pm at the booth at exit. I was coming out of the museum gate where there was ongoing strrt traffic. I received a parking ticket at the gate at 3:32 pm for stopping in no standing zone. I sent parking fees receipt showing exit time of 3:30 pm and ticket issue time of 3:32 pm to city. I argued that I was not standing but just waiting for on going traffic to ease.
I pled not guilty and I received an offer to pay a reduced fee from $115 to $90. If I don't accept the reduction offer an Administrative Judge will review my case. I will either be found guilty and have to pay the full fee (I am not sure if there is any additional court fees involved) or dismissed and I will not have to pay anything.
Should I go for the Administrative Judge? Since they offered me a reduction do I have a good change of having this dismissed?
