NYC rulebook?

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? NY

I have many experiences in fighting my own parking violations. Sometimes I am successful; but when I'm not, I always question how judges come to their short and cryptic conclusions. For example, they got the color of my car wrong, but the judge said this was not grounds for dismissal. So I figure what I need is the actual text of what constitutes a parking violation as written in the official rules, whatever that's called in NYC. This way I can actually cite text. At this point, all I can go on is the "guide" that the DMV puts out on how to recognize a defective ticket. Anybody have an idea of what this is called and how I can get my hands (or webpage) on it?
Much appreciated.
Thanks.

How were you successful without them??

Anyway, here you go. Click this website for all the NY laws: http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/menugetf.cgi?COMMONQUERY=LAWS

You'll then want to scroll down to either the VAT (weird name for the VTL), or all the way down the very bottom for NYC Administrative Code.

Once in the VTL, look for "Title 7", which has most of the statutes you're looking for. In the Admin Code, look for "Title 19", Chapters 1 & 2. It's a lot of reading, so it helps if you have a specific section in mind beforehand.

Finally, if you want the NYC Traffic Rules (DOT Title 34, Chapter 4 I think), go here: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/pdf/trafrule.pdf
(It's very long, over 100 pages, so it takes a while to load).
