"Honest" mistake my ass. They write tickets for no reason whatsoever because, contrary to popular belief, THERE IS a quota system. They just hope that people would rather just pay the fine than have to skip work and show up in court (multiple times mind you). It is a complete racket. Scr3w these guys. I would send a registered letter with a copy of the ticket and state that if they persist in perusing the matter that they can expect a counter suit claiming damages and legal fees. Surprisingly it does work half of the time...they probably lookup your credit rating to determine if you are even remotely capable of following through with a counter suit and weigh the possibility that their extortion won't work.

1st Pretty hard to show proof I never owned a car. What exactly do I show them to prove that? 2nd is I work second shift so that wouldn't prove anything since I was home when the supposed violation occurred. 3rd the cell phone thing isn't going to prove anything since the only thing that supposedly is in violation is the car, not me. 4th Why exactly would I bother starting a thread telling everyone what happened if it were a lie. It's a FACT that not me nor the car was anywhere near there. |

Chris, it sounds like a scam. Can you tell us what the letter says and what it is asking you to do specifically?

Banshee, have you ever pursued and arrested the driver of a speeding black Challenger?
I would have a lot more sympathy towards the parking enforcement officer's side of the story if it were not for the fact that I have been issued absolutely bogus parking tickets in my time. 100% bullshit, not even attributable to a mistake: Simple revenuing, ie, extortion. |

When ticketed, the completely ignorant officer had no excuse for the conflicting situation on the roadway, and indicated it was not his problem. I then informed him what an embarrassment he was and asked him how he slept at night. I get he is a bully and this is how he gets his rocks off, and he has my sympathy for being such a pathetic human. I will not respect idiots, whether they have a badge or not. |

I've seen motorcycle cops sitting right past off ramps on I-12 in Baton Rouge giving tickets to people exiting the interstate too early. In other words...their passenger side tires drove over the far right painted line. I suppose they were ticketed for "traveling" in the emergency lane. Ridiculous.
