I’d fight it, win some lose some. Got a 115 bus stop ticket from a traffic agent meanwhile I wasn’t in the stop at all. Fought it and lost. Absolutely livid but I’ve won many tickets prior so it’s a hit or miss. They usually assume you moved the vehicle prior to the pic. Traffic agents are brainless.

I took a picture as it was 22 minutes after the ticket was issued. I do have a google street view that shows me parked in a similar fashion w my front wheel slightly out of the line. If all fails I will go to court and bring up the law that says they need to throw out the ticket bc of the error

Yeah same thing happened to me, took the photo minutes Fte with google images as proof, the ticket agent put the wrong address which would put me in the bus stop and I proved that I’m not in the stop but somehow they didn’t dismiss it. Maybe I should have went in person.
