Los Angeles doesn’t have a meaningful process to contest parking tickets: it’s an automatic denial, regardless of merit. The only way to get actual review is to go to civil court.
- ensignavenger 3y agoSounds like the civil court is the meaningful contest?
- anon373839 3y agoMy point is that no one should expect responsible or ethical behavior from LA in this area.
- acdha 3y agoDo you have any statistics on that or is it personal experience?
- anon373839 3y agoYou know, that's a good question. I was basing that on personal (and social circle) experience. But from a Google search, it looks like 34% of contests are successful: https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/is-las-system-to-fight-parking-tickets-rigged/1976211/ https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/is-las-system-to-fi...
- acdha 3y agoThat sounds a lot better than I typically hear but one thing I do keep in mind is that some people, especially men, take comments about their driving very personally and react only slightly less strongly than if someone said they were bad in bed. I’ve known a few guys who would rant about tickets as a tax without noticing that nobody who’d seen them driving believed it.
