1. almost 6 years ago on For Better or For Worse

   Guy on a motorcycle hit my car. he was dressed in dirty jacket, scruffy unshaven face, long hair, ratty jeans, t-shirt, and high on pot (per the cop that was called to the scene) In court, he looked very clean, hair cut, clean shave, slacks, shirt and sweater. Actually cleaned up really well. Judge was NOT fooled.

   I received a parking ticket in San Francisco, for an early (2am) morning when I was in the hospital the entire week. After contacting the SF department that handles tickets, I provided the hospital bill to show proof I was not out driving around, statements from my mother the car was parked at her house in Santa Clara, (40 miles away from SF) and still was told “they didn’t make mistakes” because the license plate number on the car matched my car in the DMV records. Even though only the make (VW) on the ticket matched my car, not the model (Vanagon vs Jetta). I was told to come to court in person, contest it and the judge might see things my way. Of course the license plate matched my car, obviously the cop wrote down the number wrong. The cost of a losing a day’s wage, parking for 4 hours in SF, and gas for 80 miles round trip far outweighed the cost of the parking ticket. Which the system knows. And takes advantage of. Tickets are for revenue.
