[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got a  $250 "handicap ticket" for parking in a regular spot. It was a BOGUS ticket. I documented proof that my car was parked legally and took pictures of everything. I even spoke to the meter maid who gave me a ticket, trying to show her it wasn't a handicapped spot (she played dumb). I went to the courthouse, tried to fight it and I STILL LOST!!!!!

It was unreal. I learned my lesson- just shut up and pay the damn ticket. It's more like a tax for driving into DC than a ticket since most of the tickets are bogus.

I pretty much refuse to drive into DC anymore now, so DC is losing $$$ from me (since I was shopping and eating in Georgetown when the bogus ticket occurred). [/quote]

You had documented proof that the car was parked legally, and you went to the courthouse and fought it, and yet you still lost?

Maybe the car wasn't parked legally?

In which case, perhaps the people in DC are not very unhappy that somebody who parks illegally no longer comes to DC?[/quote]

This shit happens all the time. I was sent a collection for a ticket I never received. It had my license number, but the wrong make and model of the car. It was also supposedly issued on a day in which my car was sitting in the parking lot of the Washington navy yard while I worked upstairs in my building. The alleged offense occurred in uptown Northwest. I never received a ticket, and so I moved to vacate when I  received the notice via a collection letter. City said I did not appeal in a timely manner. How can one appeal something in which there was not notice. It's a racket. Oh, and I live in DC. If I  lived in  VA or MD, I would say fuck DC and not pay it.

For the red light camera ticket alleged violators, there's no reciprocity in your jurisdictions, so if I were you, I would not pay the red light cameras[/quote]
