Should I have to pay a parking ticket with the wrong address?

Question

I was parked at 910 East Maple and the meter maid wrote 800 East Maple on the ticket which is a block away. Even though I was accidently parked in a street sweepers way at 910 Maple, it just seems silly to pay a ticket for a location I was not parked at.

Answer 1

pay it....anyways

Answer 2

If you can prove you were not at the other address go ahead and fight it;

Answer 3

you could easily contest it in court, but it's a parking ticket. pay the $20

Answer 4

Yes you do, sorry.

Answer 5

sorry, Emily.....pay the ticket.  The object of the ticket is to make you pay more attention, not to be technical in it's execution.  

Answer 6

You can definitely contest. Find more information at the blog intended for just such parking tickets, below.
