YATT: Got my first parking ticket

[BobDaMenkey]

I go to ASU, and park in the big huge parking lot, around the stadium, like half the other students. I usually end up taking my parking pass down from the rear view mirror, because it's tried to come loose and fly in the past when I have the windows down.

This morning I forgot to stick it back in after getting on campus. So I came back and had a goody goody $30 ticket on my wiper blade.

I figure I'm going to try and appeal it monday in person. Say "Hey look, I've got a pass, it wasn't in the window cuz it was sitting in my console because i didn't want it to fly out my window while I was on the freeway".

Anyone know if they might be willing to write it off, or do I get to take it as midly expsensive lesson?

Here the tickets are $49. Yeah. And then the cops are too retarded to put them underneath your wiper blades so you never know you have an outstanding ticket until you receive a notice in the mail that informs you of such-- and subsequently says that if you don't pay 3 times as much as the original price, a warrant will be issued for your arrest.

Bottom line: Don't park in Pittsburgh. Ever.

say the permit fell off your window. Around here that gets a $20 ticket -> $5

I don't get why you would post this...wouldn't you answer your own question if you just went and appealed it?

a similar thing happened to me once. i brought in my pass, explained that i have a tinted strip at the top of my window, and it's possible the officer just missed my pass. they let me off.

I piled up around three parking tickets once. I had not gotten around to putting up the new permit when we had switched over to the winter semester because we were having bad ice storms the first week. When the weather finally let up and I found three masticated tickets under the ice. I just called up the campus safety office and told them I had a permit and they cancelled the tickets without a fuss. But damn, campus parking officers are persistent lil bastards to go out in that kind of weather to give me a ticket.
