Default Oh boy, $290 parking ticket anyone?

Ryan vs. the City of Treasure Island, Round 1.

Not here to bitch haha, just share some ridiculousness.

Went to the beach today, came out to a parking ticket.

Improper parking to-wit: "Not a parking space" $40

AND

Disabled parking: "Parked within handicap zone" $250





What do you guys think? $290 justified? I mean, I could maybe understand the $40 one...you're a fucking dick to ticket that but, I guess it's not technically a parking spot, but that's the one of the perks to having a motorcycle. I'm sure you guys love hearing me compare shit to Gainesville but a spot like that would have more bikes in it than Mexicans in a standard cab pickup.

In a handicap zone? Yeah right. I'm on the other side of the blue line and there's no don't-park-here hash marks.

Plus, I don't know how it is with a parking citation, but traffic citations may only have one offense per citation..everything printed on mine is singular which makes me think it may be the same way.

YouTube - Family Guy- Darth Vader

Haha.

I think I have a pretty good chance of getting this whole thing dismissed, but if I had to pay 40 bucks I wouldn't sweat it. Oh and that's my girl's car...I wasn't parking retardedly close to someone to "squeeze in".

You won't get off on the handicap fyi. The space in between the two spots is designed for the extra room needed for the handicapped person.

I would fight it... Not a parking spot yes, Handicapped no.... Print out that pic in color and find the statue stating how a handicapped parking spot is designated. With out those white has marks its not a Van accesable spot, ive been thru this and thats what I did to get out of it. Give it a whirl
