How to Properly Fight a Parking Ticket in Los Angeles

(and Most Other Places)

Ok, the title is a little off, I know. You can't fight a ticket and win in LA unless you have an angle. There are stories of people doing it, whispered rumors, like those of Bigfoot and Aliens. The reason there is so much confusion is because people are not educated on the law... or rather, the statutes and how they work. I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice. This is advice on avoiding legal issues.

That is the big misconception; that you can fight a ticket in court and win. We don't realize that once we are in the adversarial system we are at the mercy of the court. We may win and we may not but the decision is random at best. The key to actually getting out of a ticket is to know what they are. I am not a lawyer but I have fought and won tickets using the law with out a lawyer. Every person should have a copy of Black's Law 1^st edition or Bouvier's.

All nations of laws are grown from either English law or Napoleonic law. Every state in America but Louisiana (they use Napoleonic,) uses English law, hence the requirement to pass the BAR. BAR stands for British Accreditation Regency. All lawyers have asked the Crown of England for permission to practice law in America and this is why they are able to add Esquire to their names. In spite of the conspiracy aspects of these facts, you can glean a lot of information by looking at other legal systems like Canada, Australia, and England. The legal foundations I use are from a movement based in Canada, Australia, and America.

I understand that all the lawyers out there are going to tell me I am wrong and that I won't win in court but for the rest of us, it is important to note that they only get paid if we go to court. So it is in their best interest to get us into the court room. This advice is designed to keep us OUT of the courtroom.

If you have made it to court then your odds of winning are much less. If you follow all of the steps required BEFORE you get to court, then you should have an iron clad case, but your biggest weapon is knowledge. You need to understand the weapons they are using against you, weapons that are designed to dismember your wallet and leave its innards all over for them to clean up.
