Parking ticket: to pay or not to pay...
I understand that parking tickets are generally not a big deal. I recently got a ticket for parking too long in a particular area of downtown Annapolis. The ticket is only 25 bucks and I wouldnt mind paying it except the information regarding my license plate is incorrect. The cop made the mistake of saying my car was registered in Maryland and not the state in which I currently have the car registered. Do I just not pay the ticket and not worry about anything or do I contact someone about it and have it dismissed?

worth your time?
Its only 25 bucks. If it where me i would just mail them a check. Its not worth my time to call down (definatly not worth going down) and arguing with someone over the ticket. Besides its not like you where wrongfully cited.
I dont know how much time it will take you but i figure at least 2 hours in pheonix. my time is worth more than that to me. YMMV.

You're fine. That ticket can't follow the vehicle, 'cause the wrong state was listed. As far as you (and the city of Annapolis) is concerned, your car was never ticketed. Some car with a Maryland license plate and the same license plate numbers got a ticket, but your car did not.
In other words, it's not your problem. Throw it away and move on.

Ever watch 'Parking Wars" on A&E...........here comes the boot man.
You could probably fight it and win, but for $25.00 and I know I did it, pay the damn thing and let them know that the ticket was issued incorrectly, they may just dismiss it right on the spot.

I got the same, with my plate as IL instead of CA. I havn't paid it, and i have recently registered my car, without any holds at the DMV...
If the parking idiot cant get the state right, what does that say about his competency in the ticketing decision! (Despite the fact i was blatantly parked in a permit only spot).
I didnt pay because of the principal of the thing, id rather donate the $25 to a worthwhile charity than local filth. :D

if they cant even read the plate right they should be giving out tickets. that is their job, is like saying a bus driver stopped at the wrong bus stop
