In NYC you can contest a parking ticket by mail, so you don't need to waste
too much time doing it. Also in NYC, such a mistake will probalby get the
ticket tossed.

$45 for too close to a hydrant is *not* NYC.

Uh If the parking inspector is so blind that he cant get his doors
right, maybe he got the distance from the fire hydrant wrong too.
Unfortunately its all about revenue raising, so they will be on the side
of where they can raise the most cash. You loose we win type of stuff.
Pay up... Principles cost money to protect. The ticket is cheap,
compared to the alternative...While the law is like this, we can see why
we sometimes loose respect for the law.. We all make mistakes.....I
still say you shouldnt have to pay. But I found out early in the piece,
dont waste your time.. You get away with heaps of other stuff.
