What is it mean - in NY parking sign (No Standing except sunday and No parking anytime)?

Question

I was in New York City yesterday and it was Sunday - Mother's day. I received a parking ticket which two signs said No Standing except SUNDAY and No Parking Anytime, but I was in the car at all time and my car engine was still running. I only stopped a minute or two after i dropped off and picked up a friend. The traffic officer didn't even give me warning and she just asked me the driver license to file a ticket.
After the traffic officer left the scene, a witness told me he saw that officer didn't give a ticket to vehicle driver which was stopped behind me because the witness said that vehicle driver and Traffic officer are Africa- American. And I am asian. That witness told Another traffic officer regarding this issue and I had the name and batch ID# of that traffic officer.
Can I fight for the ticket as racial discrimination or the signs? What should I do? I really need to know what the two signs really mean(No standing 8am-7pm except sunday, No parking Anytime)

Thank You!

The traffic ticket was issued as no parking anytime, but I was in the car at all time.

Answer 1

was the ticket issued for parking or for standing? if for standing(waiting) then take a picture of the sign and bring it to court to fight it. the ticket will have the sunday date on it so you can proove it was a sunday

Answer 2

Did you get a ticket from a cop or traffic? Traffic officers dont usually ask for ID. If you were in the car then you should have been ok. Write you're story to the judge and take photos if you can. If they took info from your DL then thats proof that you were standing and not parking.

And they dont racially profile...they ticket everybody.

Answer 3

Most likely you were blocking a busy driveway. No Standing means you can't place your car in that area regardless if the motor is running and you plan to be there for only a few minutes. No Parking means that you can't stop your car and park, but you could stand, meaning stay idle and inside the car.
