my friend is a cab driver in our town he has regular chauffers license and regular taxi plates. in new york cabs are allowed to use the parkways.. they have cab stations on the parkways. there fore they are not considered as commercial vehicles. cause commercial vehicles are not allowed to use parkways, only expressways and highways.i live in a residential district. the other night when he left my house the police had put a ticket on his car for no commercial parking. well if he lives and works here in this neighborhood and theres no commercial plates. the thing is this cop doesn't like him what should he do

Plead not guilty. The police office will not prevail in the case if the basis for the ticket is illegal. The judge will decide what's what, not the police officer. This just sounds like harrassment to me. The judge should throw it out.

The taxi is a commercial vehicle, because by definition, it is a business venture, attempting to make money. Even though the taxi may be able to travel on a parkway, (which I don't think is correct), that item alone does not change parking regulations. I'm sure the regulations were written for vehicles such as delivery trucks, so your neighborhood would not be disturbed and traffic would not be affected, but as i mentioned, a taxi is certainly a commercial vehicle. Pay up...

The rules differ what is a rule in NY is not a rule in your area.
In our state the vechile I drive is not a commerical vechile, although it is leased to a business and has a business name on the side. But in 3 or 4 other states where other people have the exact van, used the exact same way as mine, thiers are considered commercial.
So your local city may have a law that specificies it as commercial. They can take the parking ticket to the court house and plead not guilty and see what the judge says.

over pay the ticket by 2-3 dollars and when they issue a refund check never cash it. court records cant conclude any findings until all settlements are paid in full keeping him from points added to his lisence
second thing is goto court if you dont wanna pay and tell the magistrate i cant pay im broke cry poverty and ask for a continuance, goto court again get a continuance each time the cop has to show up a reral pain in the *** lol after 3rd continuance itll get dismissed most likely or may pay liek a 5 dollar fine

The only thing he can do is take the ticket to court. If the act was truely unlawfull then he wont have to pay the ticket and the officer will be immediatly repremanded.
