Parking Ticket?

wilson1010 · 12-06-2008, 06:17 AM

Sorry, I didn't have time for the explanation.

The first case from 1960 says that you can be liable for the ticket even if you didn't park the car yourself. If you are the owner and the city ordinance imposes liability on the owner.

The second thing is the Cincinnati ordinance which does exactly that.

You could fight the ticket on the basis that you were not too close to the hydrant, etc. Post up if you want to and I'll put up the procedural stuff.

Is it a HUGE pain or not so bad? I dont have a lot of time to put into this and I really cant afford to spend any more on this thing. $250 is enough.

On a side note...A friend of mine (really it wasnt me!) got a speeding ticket about 45min south of Columbus, dont supose you have a prefered lawyer up in that region that deals with moving violations?

Nah, waste of time. Next time, get a garbage can, cut the bottom out and lower it down over the hydrant while you are parked there.

Now that is some sound legal advice.

The garbage can thing.... I havnt done it and it hasnt happened on my street, but my friend who lives on Wheeler sees it all the time with trash bags put over the hydrants. We always take the bags off and hope the car gets a ticket or towed or better yet a hose through the window

Where I was parked, there was more than enough room and it was clearly visable from the street. Guess the cop didnt think it was 10ft visable though... :(
