I believe my car was improperly ticketed and towed last year. I disputed the ticket, with photo evidence showing that the car was legally parked. However, I just heard back today that the ticket was upheld. Do I have any further recourse or do I just have to bite the bullet and pay the fine?

“If your ticket is not dismissed, you may pay the ticket or request an in-person hearing at the Traffic, Parking, and Transportation Department's office. All hearings must be requested and scheduled in advanced. During the hearing you will meet with the Hearing Officer. The Parking Control Officer who wrote the ticket will not be present. You will have the opportunity to: explain the reason you feel the ticket was issued in error, provide details of any extenuating circumstances, and provide any documentation or evidence that supports your claim. If your ticket is dismissed the process is complete. If your ticket is not dismissed, you may pay the ticket or appeal the ticket through the Middlesex County Superior Court, 200 Trade Center, Woburn, MA. There is a $275.00 filing fee.”
