Anyone had experience in court with a parking ticket?
Parked in a metered spot right in front of Chase on Rte 1. Paid for the meter and came back out to see I had a ticket on my car, even though I still had time left on the meter. Looked at the ticket and found I was fined for “expired registration.” I am here for college at UMD and have an out of state license and license plate. I got my registration renewed in person when I went home for Christmas break, but the tag office was out of stickers, so they gave me my registration card and a receipt showing I paid my registration and told me that was good enough for my state until I get the sticker in the mail (which I have yet to receive). I appealed my ticket on the city website, explained the situation and provided a picture of my valid state registration and receipt. I just got an email today saying my appeal was denied because “Your submission did not include any documents to support your claim that your vehicle was properly registered.” I feel like this is worth arguing in court but wanted a second opinion if anyone has had a similar situation as this before me.
