You say the vehicle has moved within the last 48 hours. So how are you going to prove that? What EVIDENCE do you have? It's your word and your friend's word against the meter maid? Sorry, but the meter maid

( city) will win. Most parking tickets are argued administratively-- In a NO WIN situation. It's even a no win situation in court.



How much is the ticket? $40. Pay it and VOW never EVER to park in an iffy situation. Parking "tickets" are one of the larges revenue generator mechanisms "businesses" in CA I imagine it's the same in every state.



I have lived in the city for 10 years now and have gotten probably 30 parking "tickets" and have paid most of them. I've got 4 attached to my car's registration now. I cannot renew my registration until I pay $541!!



Pay it. A $40 ticket is not worth fighting. Appeal it if you don't have the money right now. That will give you more time to get the money.



I know you want to argue it for principle's sake, but....

I've got lots of experience arguing parking tickets. It's a NO WIN situation.
