We got another crazy parking ticket to deal with…
“Dear PoPville,
I got a parking ticket last week.
It has the wrong license plate # on it.
Should I pay it or should I just hope that there is no poor sap with the license # the officer wrote down who will have to deal with DMV to fight it?
Is there a way i can research whether there is an actual license with the one on the ticket?
It has a DU rather than a DC …”

“Dear PoPville,
The DMV did a “relocation tow” on my car last month, and upon retrieving it (from literally around the corner) I immediately paid the $100 fine online and didn’t think anything of it until I got a Notice of Unsatisfied Parking Tickets in the mail last week. It claimed that I had failed to pay my ticket within 30 days and that I now owe the city $200. I went back to my credit card statement and found the proof that I did indeed pay the initial ticket the same day as the tow. My current problem is that I can’t reach a human being at the DMV or 311 or anywhere else to tell them they screwed up and I should not be penalized for their mistake. Will I have to drag myself to a DMV location in person to show this to someone, or is there any other option??”
