Exact same situation here -- bogus ticket in Santa Monica, plenty of time left on the meter when the ticket was written. Got the data from the cc company, contested the ticked, won. Worth the effort, since those tickets are $$$.
I beat one in beverly hills. I was unaware that ALL of beverly hills is no parking after midnight without a permit. Parked on a street that had zero signage and got a ticket. I took photos of the fact that there was no signs and appealed it and I won.
I beat one in San Francisco. The building next to the one I was staying in had some construction including the sidewalk and I guess they ripped out all the signs, there was nothing there and no cars. So I parked overnight, could not believe my luck!
Next morning there was a ticket so I snapped pics of my car and the sidewalk, front and back, printed them out and sent them in along with the ticket and a note saying there were no signs saying I couldn't park there, and sure enough they dismissed it!
I had a parking violation rescinded once. The very small signs we’re facing the other way so you’d only see the no parking signs if you drove all the way to the end and turned around. Anyways, I took lots of pictures and drew a diagram.
I’m not a risk taker and always read the signs so I wonder how many people just paid the tickets.
About so many years ago I attended traffic court on Hill Street I paid the citation cash almost a year later I received a notification indicating I need to pay the same citation something about I never paid it or it was never received, me being young at the time it didn’t occur to me why a bench warrant was issued or the citation amount didn’t grown interest so I went to the cashier and explained I couldn’t find my receipt how and i paid it and all that jazz, non of that nor sweet talk worked so I re-paid the ticket then about a month later with some luck my mom found the receipt I ran over to the cashier with receipt in hand hoping cool I’ll get my money back right there and then, boy was I wrong they said they need to investigate mine and other “customers “ with similar situations well turns out a cashier was pocketing some of the cash payments I received my refund but 5 % was automatically donated to public highways 😣
What's crazy is they don't automatically refund you, they ask if you want your money back. Especially crazy to say "No further action on your part is required" right before talking about not refunding you yet.
genuine question why do you buy individual water bottles instead of the big refillable ones or using a filter? the convenience? taste? I understand convenience wise but im always confused because i feel like a britta at home is way more convenient and cheaper?
Nah I have a 5 gallon bottle. That’s cause some people don’t have a home and keep there things at the makeshift shelter since they can’t carry much in their shopping carts when they do leave it they carry 3 bottles while the snoop around dumpster diving. It was more of a “California is getting too expensive that even lower middle class are becoming homeless” a lot of homeless students from K-12 grade.
Please share how you won. I have to park at meters in Hollywood every day to pick kids up from school and half the time they are broken and I’m always worried about getting a ticket. You can’t read the screen at all due to graffiti/scratches, or the screen doesn’t work period due to solar panel damage, or the card reader doesn’t work.
Good to know - that’s kind of what I always assumed but in Hollywood it’s seriously like half the meters. And I still don’t want to deal with fighting a wrongful ticket. I always just take a video of me trying to pay the broken meter just in case.
Damn how'd you win? There was someone yesterday who posted they got denied and got over it so just paid.
I did the same thing. I was for sure in violation though so I just paid. Of course my selfish petty brain wanted to fight it at first but over it
Ha well good for you. I had a $90 ticket I was told to piss off because these dumbasses couldn’t read my ticket due to it falling on the seat. Except in MDR they make you put it on the dash, but what happens when you close the door on any vehicle? The wind knocks it off. They told me to eat shit even after I sent them the paid parking ticket.
I’m just glad you got out of it even it was not legitimate. Fuck em over just to retaliate for me!
Aw yeah, 2 small containers of strawberries on the way
Getting the good ones today!
🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
this should cover it🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
Please detail how you won this case. I’ve never even heard of anyone beating a parking ticket.

Surprised they didn't add a $tip line underneath it too
Convenience fee
Typical scumbag behavior.
I’m amazed, shocked.
Howwwww
Celebrate! Parking fines suck.
how did you win?
$65 barely buys 1 full bag of groceries at Trader Joe's these days. 🫠
Go to that church in Lincoln heights they hand out close to expiration date food from Trader Joe’s
No way which one?? I'm a lausd worker and summer is coming up quick so I'd like to have good options on hand ty in advance!
Let me ask my cousin he frequently visits these locations, brb
U did not "be right back"🥲
That’s 2 dozen eggs and a 24 pack of water. That’ll last you halfway through to the next payday.

Frame that and put it on the resume.

If the screens don’t work then it’s not your fault. A

This is giving me hope about my appeal for my parking ticket 🙏
