In response to "small town *rant* - I know they need to make *revenue* and such but a $ 185 parking violation??!!" by Pippy

- where's the documentation that this is 100% foolproof, plus the before/after pictures. - zork Nov 19, 13:26 10
  - we're getting an attorney - Pippy Nov 19, 13:28 7
    - Good luck, but that attorney's likely gonna cost more than the ticket. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 13:29 6
      - People often do that simply for the principle of the thing, or to play chicken -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:32 5
        
        Pay more money to an attorney, when the primary complaint is the cost of the ticket, not it's validity? - musubi Nov 19, 13:33 4
        
        *shrug* It's either that or run for office and attempt to get that class of violation's cost reduced. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:35 3
        
        I might - I am that outraged - it's the amount of the ticket that is outlandish. - Pippy Nov 19, 13:40 1
        
        Well, you should at least be able to attend a council meeting and see what the budget is being spent on -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:49

  - It's not. That's why courts side with law (ordinance) enforcement officials over regular citizens in he said/she said instances. -- nm - VMan Nov 19, 13:27 1
    - And this judge - doesn't care what the little person has to say - never has - Pippy Nov 19, 13:29
