can I get a ticket in a parking lot?

parking lots are private property so there has to be a sign posted saying that the property owner has allowed the police to patrol the parking lot.  If there is noting like that there is nothing that they can do to you unless you were pulling on to a city street, at least that is the law in CA

You still have to pay, so pay but tell the clerk that you want to fight the ticket. She/he will schedule you and the officer that gave you the ticket to court. Then if you win or he doesnt show up they give you the money back.

Yes.....but they will just ignore you.  There are procedural issues that are different from municipality to municipality.  Unless you know exactly what to do, the liklihood of success is low (the friend of the court may be able to help you out).\n\nAlso, what you subpoena must be relevant.  If you can't prove the relevance to your case, you will get completely ignored....even with an attorny.\n\nExample 1:  You want a record of all parking tickets on a given day to try and prove so many people get tickets that perhaps they shouldn't.  Not going to happen.\n\nExample 2:  You are accused of bank robbery.  Witnesses saw someone get into an illegally parked car after robbing a bank.  The cops grab you off the street because you match a description given to them.  A witness identifies you as the suspect....doh.  You need a record of all cars ticketed in front of the bank as leads as to whom might have really robbed the bank.  Definitely relevant.

You will be able to find more information on the back of your ticket, such as the address to write to, phone numbers to call, etc.\n\n(You didn't mention your home state, the state the ticket was issued in, what the offense was, or anything else really, so I can't help you further, sorry...)

Is the parking lot really private? If the public can access it freely (i.e. there is no gate or lock), or even if a select group of the public, like in a gated community, can access the parking lot, it is not private, and you must follow the rules of the road there. If it was truly private, the officer would need a warrant or have seen you while driving on the street and have a reasonable suspicion about your drinking to even go into the lot.

Contact the SFPD, ask for the Parking Enforcement Division and see if anyone there can answer that.  I assume you don't want to pay it because you are fighting it and not just blowing it off right?  If you wish to contest it you will likely have to meet with a Hearing Officer and plead your case.  However I could be totally wrong, that is just how it is done were I am from.

NO.  Unpaid parking tickets will, however, be placed on your registration renewal fees!

And it doesn't look like they're much more help online either...\n\nhttp://www.wycokck.org/gen/wyco_generated_pages/Municipal_Court_m1894.html\n\nAll they supply is the phone number again!  I've checked around the page and found nothing.  Some municipal courts do allow you to look them up but it doesn't look like Kansas City Kansas is one of them.\n\nSorry\n\nThey do have a question and answer page on their site and say this about tickets:\n\n"How do I "mail-in" my fine?\nIf the amount of the fine is shown on the front of the ticket, you may waive your right to trial and enter a plea of guilty or no contest and pay the specified fine plus costs without appearing in court. Mail or bring in person a money order, cashier's check or personal check made payable to Municipal Court to Municipal Office Building, Second Floor, 701 N 7th Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101. Enclose the carbon copy of the ticket, sign the waiver printed on the bottom back and pay the total amount shown on the front of the ticket. Write the ticket number (found in the upper right hand corner of the ticket) on the check or money order. This makes it easier to connect the payment with the ticket if they become separated. Payment must be received in the Traffic Violations Bureau before the court date shown on the ticket. \n\nHow do I pay a parking ticket? \nYou must pay the original fine or schedule a court date within 10 days. If payment is not received or a court date has not been scheduled, the amount increases by $5 on the 11th day and an additional $10 on the 31st day after the violation. If payment is not received or a court date is not scheduled, your vehicle may be subject to immobilization. Any person wishing to plead "not guilty" for a parking violation must call the Traffic Violations Bureau at 573-5200 for a court date."\n\nBill

Can you give us more details, specifically what you are talking about or dealing with? \n\nMany entities can write tickets, but they usually have been empowered by the State or local law enforcement. For example, police departments in large cities often contract private firms to enforce parking laws. This is allowed under state law, as the company is acting as an agent for the police dept. Also, some police departments have Community Service Officers (who are not police officers) who also can act as agents of the police department and can cite and tow cars. \n\nIt's kind of funny that you bring this up. There was a guy in Chico, CA that was printing his own parking tickets and "citing" cars in the city. He made the tickets rather official looking and it fooled a lot of people. The address where he had you send the fines was his mailing address, though. The police caught on.

If that option is available, it should be printed on your ticket. There should at least be a phone number you could call and inquire.

The citation is valid.  Most parking tickets do not require the officer to sign the ticket.  Even if your parking ticket requires the officer to sign the ticket, failure to do so will not invalidate the citation.  It is very likely that you will receive a "cite correction letter" of some form in the mail that will indicate that the officer forgot to sign the citation and address the issue.  The clerks at the agency where I work return citations to the issuing officer for these type of corrections and our courts will not accept such a citation until the error is fixed.  That being said, errors never invalidate a citation.  Your best bet is to go to court and challenger the ticket and maybe the agency will not be able to figure out who wrote you the ticket, no one will show up on the police side and the ticket will get thrown out.

They can. They will most likely issue a bench warrant for your arrest.\nWhether they come looking for you is the issue then. usually they don't even bother. However, if you get pulled over again with a bench warrant, it is straight to jail until the judge can see you at HIS convenience.\nThere are cases where they show up at your workplace and get you. they don't like it when you waste their time.Plus, to top it off, you have to pay to have the warrant removed, pay the ticket, and pay the failure to appear fine.\nNot worth it, just go!!!

Littering is a misdemeanor...but they usually don't pull you over for it...unless it's quota time\n\nAnd why do you have to appear in court if you didn't get a ticket....sounds more like a verbal warning\n\n\nA summons huh?...that's a little odd usually they give you a ticket if you have to appear in court.\n\noh and btw I think it's more of a gross abuse of power ,just to get there quota for the month

If you paid your fine, then yes, you should not have any problems.  All you did was contest the ticket, which is just a traffic violation.  By not showing up, you forfeitted your right to contest the ticket, so you just have to pay the fine.  \n\nBut if you didn't....well, then a warrant could show up for your arrest.  Hope this helps ya!
