Sorry to hear about it Chef. That's a real bummer. Gansett is beautiful, but parking can get hairy in the summer down there. I lived there for 4 years, I miss it. Are you going to take this to court? Is there any way you can, since you didn't get a ticket? Or maybe just cut your losses at $125 and save the hassle?

I did what some people suggested and wrote a letter to the editor, they published it later that week. So i go to court tonight. I talk to judge, tell him my side and that i believe i was innocent, and the baileff butts in and says the captain wrote the ticket and wants to take this to trial. Great , guess the captain read it . If i get a lawyer and am found innocent will the town have to pay for my lawyer??? Im beginning to think i should have just paid the $75 , even though im 100% right. Its gonna be grubby kitchen guy vs THE CAPTAIN .... ANy advice???

No need for a lawyer- just go and say there were no signs. What they did was beyond rediculous..

I read somewhere that the place you work at has had some issues about parking.... be careful that they dont make you a scape goat..

parking ticket
A ticket by a captain doesn't make it any less wrong. IT WAS STILL AN ILEAGEL ACT. Shame on the captain trying to shove this down your throat. LET THE JUDGE KNOW WHAT YOU THINK AND LET THE NEWSPAPER KNOW WHEN YOUR GOING TO COURT. You could even put an add in the local paper telling everyone when the case is going to be heard. It just might be forgotten
