ticket for a parking permit that was clearly displayed?

Laws vary by jurisdiction. Generally speaking, parking laws are issued by municipalities; you would have to look at the city code for the specific code.\n\nYou should seek the advise of a lawyer in your area.

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.

You should have had reminders in the post for out parking fine before the bailiffs showed up....\n\nBailiffs can charge you up to £50 per visit, plus a fee for their time. Fees are currently not regulated and are merely expected to be 'reasonable', although there isn't really any guidelines on what' reasonble' is. If you don't pay your bailiff fees on time, you may get a personal summons from the courts as well.....

The ticket should have a specific court and court address along with a time to be there.  If not use the court contact info on the back of the ticket to inquire.

If you are talking about a parking lot, then yes.  During a ride along, we issued 2 tickets to those who parked in a handicapped space without any permit.  It can be a pretty costly mistake.

I really doubt they will toss you in the slammer for a parking ticket.  You'll pay the fine and go with a good lesson learned.

Friend - Though I agree that your best action is just to pay the ticket, to find out the procedure for contesting a ticket, call the court of the jurisdiction involved.  GBU

Simply have it removed by a tint company or peel it yourself. Next, drive the car to any law enforcement office in CA (CHP, LADP, LASO) and show them you have removed it. They will sign the ticket off. You then mail the proof of correction (signed off ticket) to the court listed on the ticket.

Depends. Was this the 1st appearance? If so, then the cop had no idea you planned on contesting the ticket, and it is perfectly legal to allow the courts to give notice to the cop in order to get him to appear... But, if he doesnt appear at the trial date (May 17), then you get dismissed. \n\nIve gotten 26 tickets in my life, and only three have ever appeared on my record. If you know the laws and know what questions tto ask WHILE BEING TICKETED, you can beat almost anything they give you. If you'd like, youre welcome to email me and explain the situation completely, and Ill see if there is anything I can tell you that will assist in your defense. I love making cops look stupid in court!

I'd recommend calling the stadium to find out if it's a problem at all. If the ticket doesn't have the friend's name on it, then I don't think that it should be a problem. They probably wouldn't even know that the ticket was given to you by a friend. Or that's how things are here. Anyway, I consider you to be a lucky duck for getting a ticket at all!

Doesn't sound like it was a misdemeanor. There are all sorts of minor violations which do not become part of any criminal / permanent / public records. If all you got was a ticket, then this is probably not something still on your record.

No. depends on how bad your driving record is.  Obviously, you probably had multiple tickets & hadn't paid them.

Yes. That's what the appeal process is for. You appeal it to the County Court of Appeals in the county where the violation occurred. There should be instructions on the back of your copy explaining what to do. Usually, you have to file the appeal within a certain time period after the finding of the lower court. The county court of appeals is the final court on a traffic violation, but often easy to have overturned for numerous reasons. If the officer fails to show up and they try to reschedule your appearance, object to the prosecuting attorney, if he/she is not cooperative, ask to speak to the judge. Usually it will be automatically reversed and dismissed. If you have an attorney, he can examine the ticket and details of the incident      and suggest a defense. If you are defending yourself and have  any evidence, e.g.- picture of obscured stop sign, witness, etc, you can introduce that evidence and essentially have a new trial. If you are guilty and have no real defense, plead "no contest' if the officer shows up. Its the same as a guilty plea, but does not indicate that you admit guilt. You also will have chance to explain circumstances to the judge. In Texas, the fine is usually cut in half and sometimes dismissed if you attend defensive driving school. Call the court that heard your case and ask about process to file the appeal. You may have to post the amount of the fine as bond and sometimes more, which will be reimbursed upon   the appeal trial.

When I received my ticket in June, I called the Clerk of the Court in your county. They can tell you all that info plus the website so you can pay your ticket via the Internet...Hope this helps!

It should be written on the ticket, but you can call the county courthouse and find out.

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.
