Today, I got a $60 parking ticket for not paying the $2.50 pay-to-park fee. I checked my bank records, which proved that I'd paid the fee, for the correct space too. The problem is the fine is too small to contest in traffic court. FML

There should be a phone number that u may complain about the ticket, I'd probably try and call.

Show them the receipt you had for parking if you have it...that usually voids the ticket...

So... Doesn't that mean you can just not pay it? It's too small to contest, so wait for them to elevate the whole thing, and then prove it's not your fault to begin with.

Hey guys - OP here. I saw all your comments and decided to follow your advice. I went to contest in traffic court after it had been elevated to a lot more money. I won. Thanks for all your support. -OP
