There's no reason not to park illegally, even if you have to pay full price for the ticket.

Sure there is.

Double negative?

I was too tired one night to move my car off the streets (overnight parking not allowed). Paid my $35 fine the next day.

Lol, I for some reason thought "Never park again!"

Sure to avoid parking tickets that way.

The difference between you and most of the other people with tickets is you did it on purpose. You are probably the only one who deserves to get a ticket.

Ignorance is not an excuse, so everybody that breaks the law deserves to get a ticket whether or not they did it on purpose or by accident.

you are right. But with traffic tickets there is one penalty to the offense. If it were murder, there are more levels of the charges and penalty that would be fit i.e 1st, 2nd, 3rd degree. Thats why if you mistakenly park somewhere where you are not supposed to, as apposed to what the OP did, you should be allowed to argue your way to a lower offense or even have the charge dropped.

The court system knows this, that is why they allow you to plea bargain with them.

Excuse my extreme example of murder but I stand by my point.

In a way a previous reply by the op about it being First degree illegal parking actualy strengthens my point.

I see what you mean, but I guess I'm taking a more simplistic view here. You have to make a conscious effort to park your car in a specific location. If you don't do your research about the laws regarding parking in that spot, you should get a ticket for breaking the law if you happen to do so. Its kind of like when you are installing software and if you choose not to read the License agreement, you are accepting all consequences that were outlined within the license agreement. Just because you were too lazy to read the actual agreement isn't an excuse for breaking the agreement and you should get penalized.

Whether or not the OP purposely or accidentally parks his car in the wrong spot, he choose to park his car there and in so choosing, appropriate consequences were automatically accepted ~ ignorance or not.

Thats my point of view, right or wrong. Now if you go to court to battle the penalty and the court finds you correct, then more power to you and that would be an area that I have very knowledge in.
