Got a parking ticket for safety zone parking. I only slightly touched that zone. Should I fight it or it is waste of time?

^^^---- that link is to request hearing online. Type in a defense and don't incriminate urself in the testimony and cross ur fingers.

I have gotten several parking tickets dismissed with a bs defense. Doesn't hurt to try.

Do it the 29th day since the ticket was issued so that way u elongate the process, giving u more time to save up the money in case they find u guilty.

On the other hand, if you have no photo proof, why not just make one, depending on what you mean by that. Go to the spot, park your car properly, change the time on your phone that the timestamp on the picture will show the date and time of the incident, and see what happens. Not sure if this going to help, but I guess will provide you with "photo proof"

Did that a long, long time ago. Waited in court, showed the judge a photo. Cop didn't even show up. Dismissed.

there is no requirement for parking tickets wherein the numbskull issuing the ticket to be present.. yes.. numbskull.. the head of greyskull!
So, even the officer doesn't appear it won't be dismissed?

Might as well fight it yourself.. I've beaten a few parking tickets.. can't hurt to try.
How did you do it?

Go to the eplead site I think or whatever I think Lenny posted.. go there and come up with some story why your car was there.. I just explained why I had to be in a no standing because I was waiting for a spot so I can drive into it.. I don't even know what a safety zone is dude lol. More details?

Quick google search pulled this up

http://newyorkparkingticket.com/what-is-a-nyc-pedestrian-safety-zone/

A safety zone is a no standing zone. You are permitted to stop temporarily and drop off or pick up a passenger and immediately leave the area.

Maybe tell them you're a TLC driver and you were waiting to pick a passenger up? Helping an elderly customer with luggage? Since you aren't doing it in person you don't have to be there really arguing with anyone or being grilled about it they're just gonna respond with either it's dismissed or guilty..
