Ways to Pay Tickets
 
I got a parking ticket in front of my house last night. The first offense was "Parking within 20 feet of an intersection", I won't argue that. The second thing was something about a no parking sign being posted (there is not a sign anywhere near when I parked).

This got me thinking about interesting ways to pay a ticket. I was going to pay a parking ticket at school ($15) in pennies and nickels if they forced me to pay (They didn't). What has everyone else done?

Before anyone jumps in: I'm not going to do this. I have no problem paying the $15 for the first offense, but I'm going to be fighting the second offense. I think It might not work out too well if I get the first offense dropped and then I bust out a bag of pennies to pay the second!

Lol at the pennies idea. The judge doesn't see you actually pay the tickets, thats done at a cashier outside of the courtroom.

What I would do about the second ticket is take several pics of where you parked, and prove that there was not a sign there showing No Parking. Just remember, its not what you say, its what you can prove.

Oh, and NEVER piss off the judge. Be respectful when you are arguing. Pissed off judge = no break for you.

paying in pennies doesn't do jack **** to the officer that wrote the ticket, nor to the judge that didn't let you slide.

All it does is piss off the person that marks your ticket as paid in full. Do you really want to piss that person off?

What I was trying to say initially is that I'm not going to do this either way. Doing it at college was one thing (PSU, like most colleges, seems to try and bleed money out of you any way possible).

I know someone who works for the township anyway, so I may not have to pay anything.

I just want to hear some funny ways to pay tickets.
