I'm finally getting my day in court. A few months ago, I received a parking ticket in the parking lot of my job for allegedly "parking in a no-parking zone". I was flabbergasted. Not only had I parked in that spot (which is at the very end of a parking row) many times before, but so do my coworkers and other colleagues, and none of them has ever gotten a ticket. Plus, there is no signage there indicating that the space is prohibited from parking. So, rather than pay the $25 ticket, I fought back. I took pictures of another compact car parked in the same spot,
filed a letter of appeal, and waited. Just the other day, I got a court order to appear for my court date next Wednesday. I was psyched that they didn't automatically dismiss me and make me pay the $25. However, I'm a little nervous about being in court and having to state my case. I wish my lawyer were in town to argue for me. I'll let you know how it all goes.
