    than contesting a parking ticket in court and getting the judge to award you with a "not guilty" verdict with very muddy evidence. (i.e. moving your car out of the pedestrian ramp where you got the ticket and taking a picture of it parked legitimately a few feet away)

    I'm 2 for 2 with contesting these annoying tickets. I feel like Matlock

    than falling and smashing your teeth in the sidewalk, only to be dragged by a pitbull to the nearest bone backup in the park
    then being saved by a traffic warden who is also a hobbyist abortionist and dentist, whom you marry have 3 kids with until you hit a pebble with your suv, while writting her an sms and swerve into a container full of poker cards.
    Had you not swerved you would have killed the dalai lama, hence you are reincarnated as a fetish.

    Not always. In residential sections here in NY, you can see them not only in intersections but in the middle as well. I figure they cater to the elderly which was many, in the neighborhood.

    Besides, I was just partly blocking it and the ass gave me the ticket around 6:30 am on a Sunday morning ffs. I was going to work at 7 am. The ass probably had to meet a quota.

    We have the same laws in Texas, though I'm sure it's nationwide. Blocking the ramps violates ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) laws.

    Well done moving and then taking a pic.

    Im very proud of it myself

    Useful fact: If you contest a ticket in front of a judge, theres a 50% chance it will be dismissed and 19% chance that the fine will be reduced.

    Traffic wardens around here are sneaky now, they take photographs themselves every time they issue a ticket so you cant contest it.

    I only learnt this after parking in a residents parking bay that had been suspended and was sign posted. I came back to a ticket so i cut down the sign and took a photo without the sign up and sent it in to contest the ticket. The council responded with their own photo with the sign still up right above my car.

    I should have accused them of photoshopin it.
