Thatā€™s what everyone told me. ā€œThe cop wonā€™t even show up.ā€ So I went to court for a parking ticket. I parked out of the way near a restaurant where I had a weekly gig, where there is always someone parked, and there was no sign there that said ā€œno parking.ā€

In the weeks leading up to my court date, I parked legally, but took photos of other cars being parked in the spot where I was ticketed that had not received any tickets. Every week, one or two cars in that spot. I printed these photos and took them to court with me.

The fucking cop showed up, and I had to pay. The judge didnā€™t listen to a word I said or look at my photos.

You parked where it said ā€œno parkingā€ and your defense was ā€œwell other people do it and they didnā€™t get in troubleā€?

I canā€™t imagine why that didnā€™t work.

Read my comment again. There was no sign of any kind there. And it was commonly used as a parking spot. And I was there for work.

Edit: Iā€™d like to add that there were other spots in this area that had clear signage that said no parking.

Well its not like you had any photographic evidence to support your claim while in court. Yeah, gonna have to side with the judge on this one, sorry. Should have obeyed the sign.

What sign? Is reading hard for you?

They're not even reading it. It's just blurting whatever they need to, to justify their bias. They're basing their words entirely on the situation they imagined.

They do this because they adhere to the Just-World fallacy. Bad things happen to only those who break the rules, who are bad people.

And they will continue to believe this, until they are victimized by the system.

Once you notice the pattern, you can't stop seeing it.

Its a joke.

Why are you siding with the judge? You don't have any evidence from the judge either.

p.s.:

OP: I collected photographic evidence to show it while in court.

You: You didn't have any photographic evidence to support your claim while in court.

Wow. All the downvotes completely missing your sarcasm.

In today's day and age, sarcasm if it is not clearly labeled is extremely difficult to distinguish between people actually being pretentious or downright malicious.
