Should I pay this parking ticket?

[Red Squirrel]

To consider the $7 or w/e a parking ticket costs these days, it's not really worth the hassle to fight it, or refuse to pay it. Next time you go to renew your license, or try to go out of the country, or other such scenario you'll be denied till you pay it + late penalties.

$7? try 10 times that

This is the whole point of the thread, the -2 is technically not part of the plate #, it signifies it is car #2 registered with the XYZ 1 plate. That can't be a new jersey only thing, can it? Maybe it's uncommon enough that the cop wrote it incorrectly. I would think a parking cop would know, though? I was pulled over once because a cop ran the plate and it pulled another of the cars (maybe XYZ12 would have worked lol)

So that being said, if the ticket is on the record for XYZ12, I could feasibly ignore it and not worry about the ramifications, as that is not my license plate #

It's a parking ticket, meter expired. Car is registered in NJ, ticket is NY. I'll probably just pay it to be safe but thought I'd see if anyone could shed some useful information. I would contest it (you can do it online) but I think I'm too late for that.

Pay up!! I got a ticket in a parking garage and the meter person put the wrong color of car on the ticket. The judge asked me one question reminding me that I was under oath....did you do this? I said YES!! I then paid up!!

Obviously you have no idea how the court system works.

I wouldn't have a second thought of not paying the "expired meter" parking ticket, since I would be in the wrong and regardless that license plate was written "incorrectly". ,

Don't listen to these ninnies! don't worry about the ticket. They got the plate wrong so they won't trace it back to you. so it's safe to ignore it.

I wouldn't be so sure. The leading characters probably indicate a commercial fleet vehicle, the same way that in many states they indicate the county. So that might simply be how they write such plate numbers down on a ticket. There is probably only one XYZ12 license plate, whether it appears on the plate as "XYZ12" or "XYZ-12" or "XYZ1 2" or XYZ 1 -2. No difference.

If you parked illegally, then pay up.

If not, then argue.

You're ignoring this for a reason, pay up.

Do I have no allies here?

Their website states


I don't think it's truly accurate. No one else agrees?

it basically depends on how the judge is feeling, but no reasonable judge is going to throw out a ticket based on what amounts to a typo at best, unless you can prove that your car was actually elsewhere at the time and that someone just happens to have a license plate with your exact # sans 1 digit, and also drives the same make/model car as you.

I don't pay parking tickets. Fuck em. Don't pay meters. Fuck em. Don't pay when they put a boot on the car. Fuck em. Don't pay when they impound it. Fuck em. Don't pay when they get a judgement against me. Fuck em. Don't pay when I get on the bus either and I sure as hell am not gonna pay my bail. Fuck em.
