If you look on the back of your parking ticket, you will see that it says "Send this ticket in within 20 days to ensure timeliness." (Yea right)
But if you call the parking violation bureau, they will not have any record of your ticket until 21 days after it was issued. Not to mention that I can't see a damn thing on the face of the ticket. Here's a good 1 - there are two phone numbers on the backside of the summons, one for payment and one for your plea of not guilty. Which one of those phone numbers do you think I got through to faster? (ha ha) I can go on and on about this issue. I think I need 7 on my side.
