I gotta go and fight a parking ticket tomorrow in court. Anyone got any tips on surefire ways to win??

And if the parking enforcement officer doesn't show up, does that mean that the charge automatically gets dropped (ie. I win!)?

Yes, if the PKE officer does not show up, the ticket is dropped.

As for your ticket, do you actually have a reason as to why you should not have received it?

Yes, if the issuing officer does not show up then it gets withdrawn. In terms of fighting the charge, it's either you were parked there or not ... very rarely do parking tickets get dismissed aftera trial. BTW, how much is the ticket?

The issuing officer didn't show up so I won!

It was for $45 (I think! It may have been $40).

And no, I didn't really have a reason why I could fight it... I guess that I was gonna claim ignorance and hope that I was lucky? lol

Thanks guys.
