How do i contest a parking ticket if my name is misspelled?
A parking ticket is an offense, not against the individual, but against the vehicle registration. Don’t pay the fine, don’t get your registration renewed. Only way to get out of a parking ticket is to offer solid proof that your car was not where they claimed it to be, and most often even that doesn’t help. For years, the Detroit city police maintained a list of license plate numbers that parked downtown, and periodically they’d write parking tickets against those license plates. Even with documentation proving the car was on the other side of the state on that day, the court still ordered the fine to be paid. The Detroit News and the Free Press both covered it for years, but Detroit was immune to such concepts as embarrassment. And the State of Michigan doesn’t get involved unless there’s some political reward for doing so.
