New York City Parking Ticket Injustice

It happened again! I received a ticket via mail $115 plus $10 fine for parking on bicycle lane. I went on line to look at the ticket. It was issued to my plate number. It said I was on 116th street bike lane! First of all, I was never on 116th street! Second, the ticket has a wrong color and car type for my vehicle!

I weno online hearing and listed my objections. A few days later, I received a judgement from Bradlee Biller claiming that the defense of wrong color was not enough!. Now, I just wanted to make sure this guy knew how to read. I said that i wasn’t there, and this was made by mistake to my plate! Obviously the person wrote a wrong plate number! But, again, I was denied of my hearing.

I am going to pay my fine and go all the way to supreme court if I have to. This is a total injustice! How can you issue a ticket to someone who wasn’t even there? 

I went online to see the hearing on the web procedure of NYC finance dept. web site. Most reasoning for hearing by web, according to the site, was 

efective Ticket A ticket is defective when a required element under the law is missing or misdescribed. Defective tickets may be dismissed even if you do not have another defense to a charged violation. Upon requesting a hearing, Finance will review recently issued summonses for these defects and dismiss them automatically. 

I am going to see how far this goes. I am keepding all my materials for Newspaper submission.
