This is the smart way to beat a no-parking ticket NYC

An easy-to-follow guide to beating a no-parking ticket

One of the standard, run-of-the-mill NYC parking violations is a no-parking ticket. Sadly, most drivers who get one of these familiar epistles pay them, “no questions asked.” But why? Too busy? Can’t win? Waste of time?

Meanwhile, is that the intelligent way to deal with a no-parking ticket?

Joe got one of those standard no-parking tickets.

An excellent client of ours got one of those “common” tickets. However, he asked Larry to check it out and see whether it was beatable.

Meanwhile, here’s the expensive piece of paper:

What’s the next step?

Above all, follow these simple steps to determine whether there is a winning defense or a no-parking ticket.

Meanwhile, a warrior or cop must enter tiny bits of information on the no-parking ticket to make a prima facie case.

Firstly, make sure the warrior or cop described the following required elements correctly:

  • Plate number
  • Registration expiration date
  • Plate type
  • Make
  • Body type

Secondly, was the parking rule (4-08) entered correctly?

Likewise, make sure the TEA or cop entered these elements correctly. I use:

Be still, my beating heart

Yesiree, Larry (that’s me) checked out the place of occurrence on the NYC DOT Parking Regulations Map. Most importantly, he found that the Rule regulating the place of occurrence was a no-standing rule and not a no-parking rule. The TEA misdescribed the parking rule.

That is to say, and the TEA misdescribed a required element (the parking rule). Therefore, if we present the proper proof properly, a judge is required to dismiss the evil ticket.

Larry prepared Joe’s exhibits.

Our defense certification

Here’s our defense certification

Dear Honorable Judge,

I certify as follows:

I am not guilty of this no parking violation because:

-The Rule was misdescribed

A no parking rule, R.4-08(d), did not regulate the place of occurrence entered on the parking ticket, 165 Front Street, Brooklyn, NY.

Likewise, I have submitted a series of exhibits in support of my defense.

Due to these circumstances, please dismiss this parking ticket.

Thank you.

-Certify that my testimony is accurate to the best of my knowledge. I fully understand that if my testimony is willfully false, I am subject to punishment

-I certify that the images in my exhibits are true and accurate reproductions of the originals as they existed on the date/time this parking ticket was issued.

Respectfully,

Joe

Judge’s decision

We won!

The Judge's not guilty decision.
Case dismissed!

Commentary

I beg, borrow, and pray you, never pay an NYC parking ticket, “No questions asked.” Are you that intend to donate to the Evil Empire, even if you can beat the ticket?

Just follow the simple steps in this guide. Meanwhile, you’ll find out whether you need to pay or can beat the violation.
