Default Update on previous thread about parking ticket despite having a parking decal...

Well, just got a call from the Mrs. who is at home, got the mail and told me the bad news...that I lost the appeal process (after waiting several months) in fighting a parking ticket even though I paid for a parking decal. See link for rest of story.

I already paid the fine when I submitted the appeal (2nd time I contested the ticket and lost). I'm definitely not renewing my parking permit for the year. Just gotta leave the house about 30-45 min earlier every morning to find FREE parking or just drive to BART directly.

Just a quick update since I mentioned I would let everyone know the end result.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/norcal/msgs/67201.phtml">Vallejo PD Sucks!</a></li></ul>

Default :-(

I don't understand how when confronted with the evidence, you could lose.

Default Don't blame the PD, blame the city counsel. The CC set the tone of revenue at all costs.

The city is broke!

Default I emailed them twice, got no reply. I guess they're not interested.

I also emailed Congressman George Miller and got no reply. I guess everyone has more important things to do.

Default Actually, I blame the PD for the BS ticket as well as the city for siding w/ them...

the outcome didn't surprise me though. In gaining the $25 fine, the city lost $120 annual revenue from me for many years that I planned on renewing the decal.

Default Tell me about it. I guess valid proof w/ pics isn't enough vs. a BS ticket...

Losing the appeal the second time wasn't surprising though, I almost expected it. Time to leave early and get free parking again like I did before. I guess collecting a bogus $25 fine is more important and the city earning $120 annually in parking permit fees. Go figure.

Default I wouldn't pay that.

sounds like you did already.

The city is bankrupt, they can't even pay city officials and workers.

Sucks.
