Expired Registration sticker hearing by mail verdict. Can I appeal the decision?

Question

Please read carefully. Got ticket 06/18/08

Got a parking ticket says I have an expired NY State registration sticker 04/08. I renewed it last Feb. Placed the new sticker on the dash below the old one. Parked the car by the train station. Got back I found a ticket stated expired reg. sticker! New sticker was placed right below on the dash. obviously the cop can see the new registration 04/11.

Since I was on jury duty. I pleaded not guilty. Requested hearing by mail. I photocopy the reg. that showed i renewed it last 02/22/08, took picture of windshield showing the new sticker is right below the old one. I left the old sticker because I can't take it off. Person at emission inspection scrapes with the old sticker with a tool and put the new one for me. My inspection is 09/08. decided to place the new one under it (on dash where cop can see reg.

1 mo+ passed (today) got letter that have to pay fine. Can I appeal this hearing by mail verdict?

Hearing by mail is BS?

Answer 1

The notice you were sent should state your appeal rights. If not, call the office of the clerk of the court. The number should be on the notice.
