I have no idea. Can I make a proposal like you did? Dear Sirs, we have never had this issue before - no warnings, please let us off with one? - Pippy Nov 19, 13:37 14
- You could try to argue that previous non-enforcement created the expectation that your behavior was illegal. - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 13:47
- Dear Mrs. Pippy - We do not accept a drawing of a spider in lieu of parking ticket payments. Signed, Sirs. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 13:45
- This is probably a much better idea than moving. - musubi Nov 19, 13:42 2

- Just pay the ticket and learn the lesson. The reason it's $185 is cuz the jurisdiction can charge that much and has to in order to avoid cutting - Will Hunting Nov 19, 13:39 5
  - I am so stubborn - Pippy Nov 19, 13:41 4
    - ha, you sound like my mom. She gets FURIOUS over tickets even when she fully admits she was wrong. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 13:43 3
      - I feel reasonable when I say, if I am wrong - I should have to pay something - but $ 185?? they are being unreasonable. why not $ 1000? why not - Pippy Nov 19, 13:44 2
