Parking tickets just plain suck, because the thought of paying around a hundred bucks just because you parked in the wrong place can make you hate parking enforcement officers with a passion.
But why get mad when you can get that fine removed with a little parking logic?
Writer Joe Lycett found out the city must provide proof of your parking offense if you ask for it, so he was able to get out of paying a parking ticket by playing the game via email- asking for proof then denying the proof provided.
I can't say Joe's method will work for everybody, but in the end his pranky back and forth banter over the ticket paid off when his fine was cancelled, and it made for an entertaining story to boot!
Joe- you're my new parking hero.

While this is a funny bit, the offender as much admits to (frequently) parking where he should not and then makes sport of people only trying to do their job. Not a nice person at all.

I got a summons that I didn't pay a parking ticket. The ticket cited my license plate but the car was a Cadillac. I was driving a Mercury at the time. Went to court by myself and had it tossed out.
