Today, I was looking for a parking spot and finally found one. Trying to figure out if the spot was legal, I asked a cop that had pulled up. He said it was fine. I came back 3 hours later to a parking ticket. FML

Today, I found a great parking spot but I wasn't sure if it was restricted by any means or of I could just park there for free. I asked a police officer walking by and he told me it was alright, only to come back 4 hours later to find a ticket on my windshield. FML

Today, I got a parking ticket for parking in my neighbors' parking spot. I parked there because my neighbors were parked in my parking spot. FML

Today, I parked my car, went to pay for my spot, and returned to my car only to find a parking violation ticket tucked under the windshield wipers. This all happened in less than a minute. FML

Today, I wasn't sure whether it was past the time when they stopped giving out parking tickets. I checked the meters on either side of my car, and both were expired, so I figured I was good. I came back out to all three of us having tickets. FML

Today, I got a parking ticket while I was in the car. I didn't even notice it happen. Ninja cops do exist. FML

Today, I found a parking ticket on my car. Out of five cars who were in violation of the same infraction, I was the only one who received a ticket. FML

Today, I went to contest a parking ticket in court. I came out 3 hours later, all charges clear, to a new parking ticket on my windshield, for the same amount I just got cleared. FML

Today, I got a ticket for parking "illegally." I was waiting for my handicapped dad at the airport and had all the required documents to park as I did while waiting for him. The cop didn't care, and now I have to go through bureaucracy hell to get it cancelled. FML

had that same thing happen to me. two cops on two separate occasions told me it was ok to park there, even the sign said that you get a fine only if you park north of the sign. I was south of it. I came out of the building as the cop was writing me a ticket. I asked him why he was doing that if he had told me it was ok and the sign backed me up too and he said "its life". after that he called me baby and started to treat me like an idiot because I have a foreign accent. Needless to say I reported his ass, turns out more people had the same problem with him

1. Why do people keep saying 'he wanted your money'? If you get a ticket, the cop doesn't keep the money. If he does, it's fraud whilst in public office and sounds like the kind of thing you could inexplicably get 20 years hard labour for in the US (like 'interfering with the post' or whatever, which I think is where you touch parcels/lick envelopes inappropriately though I'm not completely sure). 2. Anyone in the World knows you park your car at your own risk. There are people who will try to take advantage of that. Call it a life-lesson... 3. At least you don't live in Iraq. You park your car in the wrong place there and you're liable to get blown up by an Apache Gunship/'warning shot'. Happy Monday everyone.

He must have meant he was going to give you a fine, not that it was fine.

It wasn't the cop, it'd be entrapment. If you schedule a court date instead of paying, you'll probably get off, especially given your argument. If you know the officer's name it would be a super plus but either way, the worst that would happen is you have to actually pay your parking ticket :)
