Keep in mind that he's been ticketed 82 times, not sued by the city or charged by the city district attorney. That is why the lower court ruled that his civil case against the city didn't stand, since he couldn't name a specific person he was suing. While continuously suing a person can be considered harassment, a city can ticket a individual indefinately. As long as it's not based on any class-protected issues such as race, religion, ethnicity, etc, the ticket can be for anything.

> not...charged by the city district attorney > a city can ticket a individual indefinately For breaking the law. That's the point. A ticket, no matter how small, is punishment for a criminal offense. Knowingly ticketing and arresting the guy is wrong. The fact that it is the judge who repeatedly throws it out means the prosecutors are moving forward with charges.

  > A ticket, no matter how small, is punishment for a criminal offense No, very often citations are given citing part of the civil code, not the criminal code. Just because a court is involved doesn't mean it's a crime.

  A ticket is not punishment for a crime. A ticket is a summons charging you of commiting a crime. When you pay a ticket you are pleading guilty to the offense and paying the predetermined fine which is the punishment for commiting the crime. You can also appeal the ticket which then allows you to argue your innocence in a court. If the court finds you guilty they will then issue you a fine which is your punishment.

  Nope. Many are not. Getting a speeding ticket is not a criminal offense. Same with most "did a thing without a permit" violations.
