Wrongfully towed and ticketed!!!..... three signs to decipher

[PremiumG]

Ok, i just got back from getting my darn car back!! I am so pissed. I made sure when I parked my car that I was parked at an okay spot. But I got towed and ticketed anyway!!! Total BS.

Here's what the sign said next to my car:

No Stopping 4AM to 7PM Daily

on top of that sign another one:

2 hour parking: 8AM to 6PM Except sunday and holidays (edit: whoops, said daily instead of holidays before).

edit again: - after driving back to see the location... there was yet a 3rd sign!!! This little maybe 5 inch by 5 inch sign was on the meter about knee high; not on the pole. Guess this is the ah heck that got me: said "valet parking only 8PM to 4AM". But my ticket said I got busted for parking at a "no parking" location. I'll try to contest anyway, who knows.... but geez man... 3 signs!!! 1 sign was totally unnoticable on the darn meter!



I was parked there 10PM till 2:30AM Friday night into saturday morning. Now you tell me what I did wrong... The ticket said it was "no parking anytime" which is totally not the case. I took pictures of the signs on my camera phone. Quality is crap, but you can tell what it says.

so now I have a $39 ticket and $137 fee for towing and crap. ARGGH!!!!

Contest that crap. They should compensate you for teh time you'll have to spend contesting it as well, but they won't.
What you did wrong was own a car.

Wrongful towing makes baby jesus cry.

I'd need a lawyer to figure the legal parking time out from those signs.

No stopping 4am to 7pm Daily... OK, so, basically only possible safe hours are 7pm-4am.
Then
You are allowed 2hr Parking 8am to 6pm Except Sunday and Daily, well, it says not from 4am-7pm above...

Well, on Saturday you could, maybe in theory, park from 8-6, but the other sign says no to that because daily = what, m-f or 7days?

Anyway I'm , and would have walked further having seen that combo.

went back and saw yet another sign.... this one was tiny

The other sign sounds like it explains everything. If its valet parking only, I'm sure the valets called the cops/tow company. I don't see how you could successfully contest it.

Sign! Sign! Everywhere a sign! Blocking out the scenery, breakin' my mind. Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign!

:music:

Sorry, but there is never a more appropriate situation for this song.
