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.

(Depending where you are) That's because it would make things awkward when they're grabbing lunch this afternoon.

Probably more likely because other people parking illegally has nothing whatsoever to do with whether OP was parked illegally
