njfboa police/court members need some advice
 

so i just got a ticket for not parking in one space, but here is the senario. i work in a mini mall, i park in the back row when i work and take up 2 spaces, but there is never anyone else in the back row except for 2-3 other employee's. its a $50 dollar ticket, i know the cop did it just to be an ass hole because i have mods done to my car. now to you opinion, should i fight it in court (i know i dont have a good argument but id try) or eat the fine?

i never even knew it was a law.....you have no idea how pissed i am :evil:

Why do you take up 2 spots in the first place?

private parking lot.. or municiple lot?

i dont like people parking next ot me...im anal about that kind of stuff.

plus i only started doin it recently because my coworker who always parked next to is workin at a different store for a lil bit so i take his spot too as a joke

uh mini mall parking

well then you are guilty. I would just pay the fine, there's no way your getting outta that ticket, especially in this economy with towns so hungry for money.

hahah there is no way you will win, flat out. sorry. i don't even know if the private lot part matters. if someone complained, bam.

court costs will add money, if you think you can win go, but be ready with more than 50 bucks. if you dont want to chance it, mail in the 50

its a shady line.. technicaly if its private proprety the property owner would have to sign a complaint or be responsible for having the vehicle removed.. UNLESS its a fire zone violation

no one would of complained about me, im the nicest freakin kid, and of the 2 stores that are there in that park of the parking lot i work at one and know all the ones at the other.


and i just went through all my learning to drive stuff with all the laws, there is not one thing about parking in 2 spots, so cant i fight that i was never informed about the law and should have recievd a warning? if it was never tought why should i be punished right? i seriously didnt know i could get a ticket for this crap

there is going to be a town statue for it. they don't have to teach you everything, you have to learn on your own.

dam..

So what car was this in?

the grand prix


and you know whats sad? my parents had dinner in the resturant next to where i work last night, and my dad parked sideways next to me in the gto..

i have seen cops issue tickets for the tire touching the white line or being more than a foot from the curb. yes they have rulers. yay summer revenue!

hmmm...case of the GTO>GTP :wink:

I have had officers say something to me about parking crooked, but never heard of anyone getting a ticket for it.

There's your answer. Pay up.

thats what i dont get my car is there all the time, i obviously worked in the mall, should of got a warning, trust me i would of kept in 1 space if i knew it was a law..


thanks guys

The lines didn't give it away?

find out if there is a town ordinance for parking..... if its private property its private property and you shouldnt of gotten one.

no i thought they were murals from indians

thanks il look into that

not unless there was a complaining witness. a cop could be one too if i'm thinking this correctly.

Private property with open public access means public enforcement and rules. I know it applies to all the malls around here, police can pull you over and ticket you just like the street.

judgeing by the hand writing im 99% sure it was the cop

yeah well like tim just cleared up, its all fair game. should have a badge number on the ticket too. the witness would just sign i believe, not fill out the actual ticket :lol: i would keep a book in my golve box then! you kidding!?
