Any of you local guys can offer some advice about beating a parking ticket for an expired meter in downtown Yonkers?  The ticket was written about 15 minutes before I returned to my car.  I'm really not interested in paying a $45 fine, especially after paying the city so much in taxes.

Any tips, tricks, or help?

It is my understanding that you are screwed...unless it's a situation where you had a picture that the meter was broken or non-existent or something.

Was your meter expired?

In order to beat the tix, beat the parking meter Was it a hand-wriiten tix or handheld scanner generated? You're pretty much effed if they scanned your registration barcode unless the car is not yours.

Scanner.  So the consensus is "screwed?"

That's parking enforcement.  You got a better chance of hitting lotto.

Now get your ass out of Getty Square.

Is the ticket completely and accurately filled out? If there are errors you might have a chance.

Yeah, just pay it. It sucks, but at least it's not a $115 ticket in NYC.

To make you feel better, I went to the rally in Albany and got a $50 parking ticket there there cause their signs are retarded. So my protest turned out costlier than I've anticipated. Paid that ticket yesterday. FUAC! I'm still glad I went.
