Unfortunately, yes.  However, a parking ticket is as about as small of an infraction as you can get, and if you think about it, Anchorage has had many issues with such things in the past.  I'd prefer not to continue to set bad precedence.

I was wrongfully ticketed for parking.  It took me two years to resolve it, and I never received interest (10.5% per annum as dictated by the State), etc.  I would suggest that we don't continue pursuing laws that advocate guilty until proven innocent.
