Administrative Hearing
All parking tickets are governed by the vehicle code. Look it up. To top it off, they are administrative. There is a process to follow.
First you request an administrative hearing. Then, if you don't get what you want, appeal and go to judicial hearing. I would use the argument that infractions are not crimes and therefore the State has no power to punish (See People V Battle and People V Sava).
Figure this, when you go to the Judicial hearing, the State has to pay for an attorney that costs about $200/hr. Just by going to the hearing, you've really F-ed them. Object to everything the attorney says, argue and eat up as much time as possible. Trust me, they won't ticket you again after that. And if they do, they will dismiss it in the administrative hearing next time.
See if its too late to request an administrative or judicial hearing based on the vehicle code. It probably is, but its worth a try.
