NYC Parking Ticket without receiving one

[jetsetjosh]

Went to pay for a camera violation and saw I was issued a parked in a bus stop violation a few weeks ago; I remember the incident as it was raining heavily and the traffic cop car was behind me, but no one actually got out of the vehicle and gave me a ticket. My hazards were on and I was making a delivery, I watched the whole thing and when I returned to the car the traffic cop had still not exited the vehicle and given me a ticket. Is this a reasonable defense to beat a bus ticket in nyc?

If so, can I apply this to camera violations, as an image of the violation cannot be pulled up when clicking on the view image button.

Apples & oranges.

No and no.

Looking at your posting history, you seem to have quite a problem with obeying the traffic laws. You may wish to evaluate this problem and find a way to correct it.

No.

So traffic cops can give you a ticket without giving you a ticket

I'm a delivery driver for Emergency Management, if you think our job can be done circling the block 20 times looking for a parking spot, I highly encourage you to apply

Interesting. You use your personal vehicle for these deliveries. If these are truly within the course of your employment, they should be paid by your employer.

It’s my company vehicle. They cover double parking that’s it. They should cover everything, I am glad we agree. You will have to speak to my boss Alvin on that lmao

See if there is a rule that tickets have to be served within a certain number of days or they have to be dismissed. If not, then no parking is no parking. You got out of your vehicle. You were parked.

Then double park. Don't park in bus stops.

There's no rule that says parking tickets need to be served in a certain number of days, it says it has to be served on the operator if present at the time of the violation or affixed to the vehicle if the operator is not present.


This one actually went to the NY Supreme Court:

If it's your company vehicle, that means they would receive the ticket since they are the registered owner.

Thank you!! Exactly what I was looking for

This one actually went to the NY Supreme Court:
You do realize that this was an appeal from a court not of record, traffic court, to a trial court, a court of record. The top appellate court in New York is the Court of Appeals?

 

[quincy]

The New York Supreme Court is not the highest court in New York. The Supreme Court is a trial court.

Despite doucar’s “?” he is right. The Court of Appeals is the highest court in New York.

This is different from other states, where the Supreme Court is the highest court. You Are Guilty pointed this out to me years ago (more than once, I think).

In New York, supreme courts are primarily trial level courts, so saying that a case "went to the NY Supreme Court" doesn't make much sense since there are over 60 supreme courts in New York, and a case going to one of them isn't particularly notable. The highest level court in New York is the New York Court of Appeals. The opinion to which you provided a link was issued by the Supreme Court for New York County (i.e., Manhattan) on appeal from a decision by the City of New York Department of Finance Parking Violations Bureau. Still might be useful to the OP, though.
