SO tonight was my trial for the parking in a tow zone ticket.They had me talk to the prosecutor first. I told him i shouldn't have been towed, he said i was illegally parked in 12 min Post office parking. I said ,nope i wasn't because there was no sign and i had pictures. He said they had pictures too. He offered to drop it to just $35 court fees, i said nope , i want a trial. Prosecutor talked to a few more defendants, then want to stairwell to talk to the police captain. He came out and called me in. They showed me their pictures that also showed no 12 min sign, heh. Then they tried to say i was still parked illegally because it was 2 hour parking. I said nope, i have my time card right here. That said i punched in at 2:07 and was a 100 ft walk from where i parked. They said it was still over 2 hours . I told them it wasn't because the 2 hr parking times were 9-4 and that i parked there qt 2:05. Then they tried to say that my truck was endangering the public and they could tow it any way. I told them of the town ordinance that said an officer could tow an ILLEGALLY parked car if it endanged the public, and that my car was legally parked. They said go sit down. I heard the prosecutor asking the captain what he wanted to do as the door shut. A minute later the proscutor came out looking pissed saying DISMISSED !!! Never even made it to the judge, because they had no case!! HAh hah !! No onto small claims to get my $125 tow fee back.
