The law I broke when getting a parking ticket is written incorrectly...can I get out of the ticket?

Even if he wrote the wrong code, do not ignore the ticket. You need to take care of the matter, or it will get worse. Parking tickets usually double if not paid promptly.

If this did go to court, they officer would have to prove two things:

1. it was your car, and

2. it was parked illegally.

If the code is wrong, they will just amend the ticket with the correct code, or the judge will dismiss the ticket and have the officer write another with the correct code.

There is a 22507(b) in the California Vehicle Code.

It says "An ordinance or resolution adopted under this section may also authorize preferential parking permits for members of organizations, professions, or other designated groups, including, but not limited to, school personnel, to park on specified streets if the local authority determines that the use of the permits will not adversely affect parking conditions for residents and merchants in the area."

This is an exact quote from the statute (law).

The website that you cited says that it is "an informational guide only... and does not carry the force or effect of statute."

you may beat the ticket, you may not...judges sort of frown on folks using a (fairly) minor technecality to get out of a ticket. That having been said, you will have to admit parking without a permit, which will hurt your case, no matter what infraction you committed...then you must ask yourself, is it worth your time to beat a 50 dollar ticket? Plan on being in court for several hours...it will all boil down to the judge, some are lenient, some strict--it's a crap shoot to say "yes" or "no" to whether you'll beat the ticket. Personally, i wouldn't bother, since parking tickets do not show up on your CA DMV record....but i admire your tenacity, maybe the judge will, too. Good luck!

I am amazed at the people on YA who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions by blaming others...

The parking citation is not the charging instrument in the court, it's only a 'informational' document.

The officer's error on the citation is not a reason for dismissial.

As one of the above answerers said, judges take it as being arrogant or blaming others when a defendant tries to get out of a citation by blaming the officer.

However, I would encourage you to try....

i understand of a guy who has a hearth lane in front of his save in his inner maximum vehicle parking zone. law enforcement officers save parking there so he caught up an illustration that suggested any motor vehicle different than hearth autos parked interior the hearth lane would be booted. Then he waited for the law enforcement officers to park there and he booted their vehicle. He have been given charged with interfering with regulation enforcement and paid a $1000 high quality. Plus he have been given his boot taken faraway from him. you are able to't win while the law enforcement officers guard the law enforcement officers.

Sorry, but there actually is a Vehicle Code section 22507, subdivision (b). It allows a local authority to authorize preferential parking permits. It sounds to me that this is what your case involves. Pay the fine.

Not an easy fight! But how much money will you loose spending 4 hours in the courthouse?

You might as well go to court and try it. You have to pay court costs whether you go to court or not in my state anyway.

Nope.

no, typos are not going to get you out of a crime.
