    I got a ticket there back in January for parking in the median. I fought it saying there were no sign stating I couldn't. Got a reply back stating if I was "actively loading / unloading" I was not parked illegal and therefor not liable. DUH!!! I was dropping vehicles at a local business, have BOLS to prove it, but because I didn't send the bond they wouldn't consider my request to drop it.

    At this point the $100 ticket is now $200, and I don't want to send it in the mail- so they have my bond in order to consider my request to drop it- because I know these friggin extortionists will keep my money. I'm wondering if I go to court- where I STILL have to post the bond before they let me see the judge- do I have a snowballs chance in hell.

    Just wondering if you guys have any similar experiences with municipalities running similar rackets, and how I should best deal with it? I'd rather give the money to an attorney than the thievin' City of Carson Ca.

    Especially when I got passed by a city cop, a CHP unit, and a Marshall (I always look out for the bear) and NONE OF THEM SAID JACK. But the sneaky weasel rent a cop in a Prius snuck up on me....

    I would check with court to make sure it is a legit ticket! There have been some scammers going around putting tickets that LOOK legit but are FAKE! They pray on people just paying and the money just goes to a private company! Beware of the SCAMMERS they are everywhere out here!

    I have received my share of Parking Tickets in Southern California and have never paid one. I don't have Cali Plates or Driver's License so they can't withold your license or registration if you fail to pay and I don't give two shakes of a pig's behind about some of the BS Parking Tickets they give out. It's all about Revenue, if you're legitimately doing business there they don't need to harass you.

    Rent a cop or meter maid? Did you sign the ticket?

    Stuff like this is why it's a good idea to have a prepaid legal service. Too many money maker regulations ... too many scammers.
