Commentary

Double parking is a tough ticket to beat because:

The Evil Empire states that double parking a passenger vehicle is illegal all times and for all reasons. Period, end of story!
The minority view (which I adhere to) is that double parking is a no standing violation. Ergo, you can double park temporarily to expeditiously drop off a passenger or pick up a passenger waiting for you at the curb and leave the area immediately
You cannot drop off personal property in a no standing zone
The driver must remain seated behind the wheel while dropping off or picking up a passenger
Remember, many judges will follow the “company line” and find you guilty of double parking regardless of the defense
