Moco parking ticket -- going to court is the only way to challenge this?

[Anonymous]

That's what my ticket says. Is that really the case? That seems like an enormous waste of resources, especially when you have ready proof that the ticket was wrongly issued.

I was able to appeal one via mail by sending a copy of my receipt for parking payment.

What’s the ticket for? And did you do it?
If wrongly issued you could try calling the station the parking officer works out of and speak to a supervisor.
99.9% of the time it’s not wrong though.

I have people every week walk in to my station to show me a “ picture” of their brake lights to prove they shouldn’t have gotten a red light ticket. I ask them if they watched the actual video link….. lo and behold, they didn’t stop.

Tell your parking attendants that there's this app called ParkMobile that allows you to now pay the meter online. Some attendants seem to be unaware of its existence.

See that's one way to look at it. The other way is "man we have made it such a pain in the butt to contest a ticket that everyone will simply pay it while grumbling about how unfair it is!"

Just try calling whatever phone number is on the ticket. That's what I successfully did for a red light camera ticket where the video indisputably showed that I did not run the red light.
