Can kiss my ass! They ticket for the most mundane things. I was parked in a residential zone in front of my house die 10 minutes and got a ticket for being one foot into a no parking area. They literally just painted the lines and I have lived here for 3 years and parked the same way and never got ticketed.

I can see if I was hurting someone or even inconveniencing someone but I was not. The only reason to ticket me was to collect money for the city or to bust my bills.

I’ll never pay. I called the number on the ticket to go to court. Got an answering machine and left a message.

They are out of control. Think they have some great power over us plebs. Fuck them.

You need to be zero feet inside a no parking area.

I wasn’t blocking anything and I was parked for a very short period of time. Plenty of room between me and the road and the driveway. Literally no other cars around.

I’m not saying I wasn’t technically breaking the rule but I’m saying that it is asinine to ticket people for stupid shit that isn’t hurting anyone.

fight it, get a court date, delay it with a continuance a few times, eventually hopefully officer never shows up and it gets thrown out. good luck.

Be sure to bring your blankie and soiled diaper to the trial as evidence. It's going to be ok, little fella. They're not Nazis, they're fundraisers; just like the rest of the police near the end of the month. Just challenge the ticket like a big boy.

Lol I’m a girl but whatever. I guess you like sticking it to people. Says a lot about you actually. Tough guy.

Your use of the word plebs tells me that you're probably guilty. That being said, when I lived in Concord I caught one of the parking enforcement officers writing me a ticket before my meter expired. When I asked why she was writing me a ticket when there was still time on the meter (about 3 minutes) the response was 'Well, I didnt think you'd be back before it ran out". I made her tear up the ticket before I go in my car and drove away.

Yes I am guilty by one foot. Big whoop. Your experience is common. I’m glad they tore it up for you.

Didn't you know that parking tickets is the new revenue maker for cities and towns? Cambridge MA is the ultimate ticket criminals and make it hand over fist with their BS.

Yes very. This isn’t the first time I have had a ticket like this for a petty reason. They’d never come near my area in bad weather. Lol

Take pictures of the area, especially noting any signage or lack thereof. They can help show that you were in the right, if you were.

For a moment I thought you were talking about actual white supremacists in Concord.

What part of concord was this? Any area with painted parking spots usually they want money for, no?
