I was waiting on the curb for a few minutes an officer approached me. He asked me for license registration and insurance. he said you have stayed here for too long. then he went to his car and got back to me with a ticket improper parking Statute 39:4-135. can he give me a ticket for improper parking ?? what are the tickets given at the airport for standing and their statue ?? I was not really Park at the terminal!!! on the back of ticket it says Parking ticket would not to the driving record?? does anyone have any experience? the last question is about the ticket itself this statue is about the distance of the car and curb and side of traffic, this is the complete statue " http://www.njlaws.com/39-4-135.html " should I contest the ticket?? any suggestion would be appreciated!!

BTW you did right by taking the ticket without debate. Had you debated or made a scene or resisted he would have come up with more tickets. Gotten his buddies to sweat you. The PACops are not honest officers, but wild west cops. Its their town. Smile, say you have no questions and leave. Dont contest it. Waste more time in court to find out its legit.

Yup Man I knew it, I got the ticket without any argument and left. I hope your tickets will get resolved pretty soon. BTW do you know this parking ticket goes to driving abstract or not ?

If it does or it doesnt it wont count towards insurance premium or points. I have lots of Hoboken and NYC tickets as well as toll violations. I still have good driver discount. Everyone gets parking tickets.

You are right! but I wasn't park there the reason I didn't argue with PAPD because of additional tickets. but if it goes to my driving abstract I'd go to the court and argue with the prosecutor with this statue and ask for discovery. On the back of ticket there is notice which clearly state "Except for a parking ticket, a record of this conviction will be sent to the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) that issued your license."

Those tickets can be issued across the entire United States at EVERY airport. You must move along and cannot park or leave your vehicle. Your party must be ready to be dropped off and picked up or you must circle and never ever leave your vehicle. I still see morons park and go I side to help with luggage (usually a family member not drivers) leaving their car unattendanted only to come back with cops circling with a ticket pad.

No standing??? I wasn't park there, I was in the car

"Parking" is when you leave the car, "Standing" means you are behind the wheel while stopped waiting.

I didn't leave the car, I was in the car but he gave me Improper Parking!

I looked it up. It does say "stop, stand or park"

So this wont go on the abstract because it is a parking ticket. I have my yellow ticket copy right here in front of me an on mine they circled "Park". Lets say you challenged it just like you said. You would spend gas, tolls, and time getting there. You would be standing right next to people who did real crimes, a rough bunch. Since you wouldnt be attorney represented they would put you at the end of the line and make you wait. You would talk to the prosecutor and they might swing you a deal...but this is only $54. In that time, you could be circling around Hoboken and made back the $54.

Send it to Uber and see if they will reimburse you. Tell Uber the cop was harassing you and asking if you are an Uber drive. They couldnt find anything so they wrote you a parking ticket.

I wan't against traffic, and he didn't care about the six inches from the curb at all. The only thing he mentioned was you stayed here for too long!!!

It might be a bad ticket. You might be able to get it dismissed, but like I said, is it worth it for $54?

you know, they are giving out bad tickets like this one and yours and put you in a dark situation, like shall I go to the court and waste a day in there or just pay the $54? you know what I mean?? they are keep giving same bad tickets and no one ever goes and defend it!!!
