What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Cali

So I came across this help site: How to Properly Fight a Parking Ticket in Los Angeles - Associated Content

It talks about ways to use the "legalese" to fight parking tickets/notices. Does this type of sticking it to the man work?

FTA:
=="You must respond to the notice and tell them that you HAVE noticed it,"
=="Since you know that the definition of Remittance is Value, you must cross out the word Remittance and write "accepted as value" and send it back to them,"
=="The legal definition of driving is to conduct business from a motor vehicle. The legal definition of a passenger is someone who is doing business with you while you drive, such as in a taxi cab. As free people we do not drive, we travel. We do not have passengers, we have friends and guests."

Another rumor I heard was to pay the fine with a check that is written out to $1 more than required. They return to you a check for $1, stating that you overpaid and you just throw it away/never cash it. That way the case/ticket always stays open, thus never officially going on your record.

Any thoughts?

Also, does anyone know who the moderators are and how to contact them?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Follow the things that website says and you will find yourself in trouble. As for the overpaying a dollar thing, most if not all courts will consider your ticket paid and hold the extra dollar. Parking tickets don't go on one's driving record, so that point is moot. California's definition of driving is to cause and guide the movement of a motor vehicle. It says nothing about conducting business.

A fool and his dollar bill are soon parted.
