I would agree, but I live downtown where it's impossible to park on the street without getting a ticket from the parking gestapo.
Those bastards gave me some garbage $15 ticket from not this past Thursday but the Thursday before. I called to dispute it like it said on the ticket, and after wading through the menu for 3 minutes and talking to the girl for a minute she hung up on me "accidentally"
Probably because I was calling at 4:50pm and they close at 5pm and she was hoping she was done working for the day. F that.
So I called back and she claimed that this wasn't the procedure to dispute a ticket, even though the ticket itself says so. She told me I had to mail a letter of dispute to the payment address on the back of the ticket, even though that procedure is mentioned nowhere on the ticket.
What a bunch of garbage. It will be more costly (my time being worth money) to mess around disputing a $15 ticket than it would for me to just pay the $15, but I am considering disputing it out of principle because of how annoyed I am at it.
