Reading something like this makes me sad.
We have a teacher at a law school that wastes everyones time by appealing a traffic ticket because the legal basis isn't sound enough.
Did the city issue a ticket to someone whose car was parked at the time? That would be something you should appeal!
Did the city issue a ticket to the owner of a vehicle instead of the driver, because they have no way to identify the driver? It sounds like this was the case. In that case, the proper thing to do is to inform the city of the identity of the actual driver.
But to launch an appeal because you don't want to pay your partner's or your kid's speeding ticket... that doesn't sound fair.

- briandear 10y agoIs there proof HE broke the law? Only an allegation that SOMEONE broke the law. When does it become his duty to prove innocence? Also, you're missing the point.
