Your Honor,
In the matter of the parking citations at hand, I concede that I was parked within the no-parking limits of a fire hydrant. I was parked there for approximately 6 hours, and received two parking tickets within two hours of each other.
I ask the court to consider waiving the fee for the second of the tickets and to allow me to pay for the first ticket. I base this request on an appeal to pity, where in this case I was unable to move my car after parking illegally, and so deserving of a ticket; however, I feel that the second ticket was gratuitous due to the fact that I was not going to be able to move my car before other officers could come by to give me a ticket as often as happen to match their route and schedules.I respectfully ask that you consider my request to pay the city for one ticket and waive the second ticket.
Thank you, Frederick Dickinson
So, I know it’s only $38 a ticket, but something about mitigation hearings make me feel civic, despite how lame parking tickets are to begin with. The only thing worse than a parking ticket, is another parking ticket.
Since I’ll be out of town during my designated hearing date, I’m choosing to mitigate my charges by written statement. I couldn’t decide whether or not to really ham it up, or to just make it short and to the point.
Any predictions on what the result will be?
