Parking Ticket in NYC

[JustJon]

<p>I was in NYC the other night to visit someone.&nbsp; I pull up to the corner, feed the meter $1 for 40 minutes and check my cell phone for the time.&nbsp; 6:32pm.&nbsp; For those that don't know, you don't have to feed the meter after 7pm in nyc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;I come back to my car some time between 9 and 10 and find a ticket on my car.&nbsp; A cop ticketed me at 6:57 pm.&nbsp; I know I put in enough money to cover me to 7pm and I still got a ticket.&nbsp; Is there anything I can do about this?&nbsp; Is it just my word against the cop's?&nbsp; It's not like either of us have any proof that the meter did/didn't expire.<br /></p>

<p>First thing I'd do is check the ticket for errors of any kind. Make
sure the body type, plate #, the address, check everything. If you find
a mistake, mail it in and explain the error and show any proof related
(registration, etc). One mistake the ticket gets thrown out.</p><p>Also, it must be legible. I've had tickets thrown out because they were so sloppy I couldn't read them. &nbsp;</p><p>If
your story is correct, look on the back for &quot;Fast Meter&quot; defense. If
you did put enough money and still got the ticket, chances are that's
what happened. If the meter is found to be defective, ticket gets
thrown out. </p>

That's moving violations, Silera. Traffic cops dont have to appear in NYC. I've tried. <br />

<p>Ah.&nbsp; I fight them all online even if I'm wrong.&nbsp; I report every meter as faulty.&nbsp; 50/50 chance they're guilty or not.&nbsp; I pay them if I lose.</p>

<br />They're a shifty sort, those ticket cops.&nbsp; From my experiences they're more like the machines they work with than human beings.&nbsp; <br />

ok if you want to fight it go to court and offer the judge a donation for the holidays...that should work.

<p>I spoke to someone who gave me some good advice about fighting the ticket.&nbsp; I'm going to send it in saying Fast Meter.&nbsp; </p><p>If it was my fault and I got caught, I'd pay the ticket, but I think it's absurd that I pay for a ticket that I know I shouldn't have received.</p><p>And Chris, I didn't think of it.&nbsp; From now on, I'll be sure to leave that in my windshield when parking on the street.&nbsp;</p>
