463. "Park or parking" shall mean the standing of a vehicle,
whether occupied or not, otherwise than temporarily for the purpose
of and while actually engaged in loading or unloading merchandise or
passengers.

I'm not reading through the thread.
If you were "parked" in the spot for the purpose of unloading your vehicle,
then that's "STANDING" not "parking"
Not guilty.

First, you are guilty.
Second, go to court and explain the circumstances and you picked what you thought was the lesser of two evils.
Third, explain that under the circumstances you feel a reduction in the fine would be appropriate since you intended to be there a short time and were available to move the vehicle if needed.
Fourth, don't get righteous. That will cost you. The judge will be looking for contrition and a reasonable argument.
You may walk out paying considerably less if you handle this right.

For arguments sake, what do you all suggest he should have done then? There were no parking spots and he had a truckload of items to unload to his new apartment. Just sit in the parking lot waiting hours for someone to leave? Park blocks away and take hours making long trips with heavy stuff?
You all know you would have done the exact same thing.

You "figured it was ok" because the other lots were full. This is not a valid argument for illegal parking. It does not justify any illegal action.
As per your statement, you had actually left the car. You were not simply "loading/unloading" but rather moving your stuff inside the apartment. You had left the premise of the vehicle, whether it be in, upon or alighting from the vehicle. This was a deliberate and calculated attempt to break the law. Your resultant fine is a reflection of that.

anyway, next time, park, unload, and move your truck.
can you people read?
he did park, unload and went out to move the truck AND TEH COP WAS THERE
and to the OP, id fight this all the way, especially seeing as the apt manager told you to park there to unload your stuff
