I got a parking ticket back in November in Walnut Creek California. I put 2 quarters into the meter for an hour's time, and when I came back at 5 to the hour, I had a ticket that had been written 2 minutes earlier.
I immediately filed an appeal at the police department, but I just today recieved a statement in which the reviewer upheld the citation.
I still have the option to fight this by either personal appearance, or another written request. Is it worth it? Should I appear, or send in more paperwork? What can I do or say to prove my innocence in the matter?
It's only a $25 ticket, but it's more about the principle of the matter. I'm really upset that the city can get away with ***-raping law abiding citizens by pilfering their hard earned dollars,( no matter how little), and getting away with it so dismissively.(after a month of waiting to hear back, I called and they told me they would address my citation quote "when we get around to it"
Please help. Thanks
