What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York (NYC)
I read a few threads here in the last 2 hours, I noticed "You Are Guilty" knows his stuff.
I've read this:

but it doesn't help my situation.
So this morning I woke up to find a parking ticket on my car:

I knew that this was not kosher because there was a missing sign about this being a "No standing" spot in the first place. So, I snapped a few pics. As you can see, my car is clearly closer to the "No parking on Mon" sign then it is to the "No Standing" sign.
BTW, although I didn't break a meter tape out, I judged distance in car units. I was approximately 5 car lengths from the street cleaning rules sign and 6 car lengths from the No standing sign.

Here you can see that my car is next to a poll with a missing sign. Since it's been missing a while, I guess the city doesn't care. Either way, my car is closer to the Street Cleaning rules sign then the No Standing sign.

The following pictures show the block from one end ( where there is a No Standing sign, to the other Street Cleaning rules end).

Then it gets worse. I decided to re-visit another place I got 2 other parking tickets, just to take some pics of that. ( I won't go into the details of those tickets, as something more annoying happens ).
As I snap up some pictures of Bay Ridge Ave and 3rd Ave, ( where I received a parking ticket that says a different location on it ):

I get a parking ticket from some clerk while I'm standing right there taking pictures.
He puts this ticket on my windshield I'm arguing with him about how he can give someone a ticket who JUST got a ticket while they're right there in the car, taking pictures of the guy. I just pulled over ( not even there for 1 minute ).

He gave me this ticket, which does not say a word about the operator ( myself ) being right there.

If there's any advice to be given for any of the 4 parking tickets here, I plan on visiting 210 Joralemon Street Tuesday to either pay what appears to be $400 to $500 in parking tickets (late fees apply to the first 2 tickets) or somehow defend myself against the latter 2 tickets. I doubt I can do anything about the first 2 tickets because I don't know how to prove the ticket's were given with the wrong (mis-described) location.
