So I got my first parking ticket today, but I noticed that the guy wrote down Toyota CELICA instead of SUPRA. Do I still have to pay since the guy wrote down the wrong info ?

Yes, well I would assume so since it really doesn't matter what you were driving, you still got the parking ticket.

I don't know if there is some dumb loophole down there, but I doubt it. Maybe someone from the Bay Area can chime in.

Sorry, can't think of any way out.
If he wrote down the right LP# n evrything else id right, I'm guessing your stuck. Iono, I'd ask someone that knows a lot about law. Which I'm sure is what you were hoping would come out of this thread. Aren't I so helpful? :)
Sorry, tho, that sucks. What city was it in? I just got a ticket for making a rolling right at about 8mph on a red, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood red light cameras.

Yeah, you're pertty much beat, Celica/Supra, doesn't really matter, you know he didn't mess up on the lisence plate.

he got your number...
besides, it's a parking ticket, can't be that bad like a dui fine is...
try getting out of a dui/dwi, know what i mean?

insurance rates shouldn't go up for parking tickets if thats what you're worried about.

I got like 3 speeding tickets, and a ticket for street racing and my insurance rates barely went up 5 dollars.

Hahaha. $25?
Lucky bastard.
And no point on your record, right?
I wouldn't even waste my time fighting it ofr 25 bucks, even if there was a pretty good chance of winning.

Mine, on the other had, is $351, plus like 30 bucks or so for traffic school, or a point.
All for a 8 mph right turn.
DAMMIT!!!

I do know that youu can get out of a speeding ticket really easy if they have one mistake on the ticket. it may work for a parking ticket too. I've had a speeding ticket thrown out because the officer left a letter out of my name. It may not be worth the hastle for 25 bucks though. Just depends on how much your time is worth.
