What is the name of your state? NY
I received a ticket for improper display of registration sticker (the windsheild was at too sharp an angle, I was scratching the glass, so I had to wait for my brother with tools to come home from work. But I couldn't show up at his house without a birthday gift for his wife). They tell you how to put it on, but not how to take it off. The current sticker was placed next to the expired one, but not glued, as that would have been a ticket for being in the wrong place.
The location of my car was stated as "opposite 1500 Main St". This would mean that I was parked on Main St, wouldn't it? It would have been reasonable to not only expect a ticket, but also a tow there, as parking there would have been obstructing traffic & parking in a "no parking" zone. But I was in a shopping plaza parking lot. Opposite 1500 Main is actually way on the far end of the shopping plaza, not at all close to where I parked. In between Main St and my car is not even all open space. Lined up on Main St with the shopping plaza behind them, are several stores with addresses: Independence Bank 1460 Main st, Boston Market 1465 Main St, Kentucky Fried Chicken 1453 Main St (which would have been correct had the location been given as "behind 1453 Main St"), and Milanos Liquors 1441 Main St. There are 4 miles between 1500 Main St, and New York Harbor. Could everyone there wind up having to pay a ticket listing their car location as "opposite 1500 Main St"? After all, while technically true, it's also vague and misleading.
Could I contest this ticket for having the incorrect location?
Thank you for your help
