text: IT'S ALWAYS WORTH IT. TIP ONE: DON'T EVER TELL THE JUDGE OR D.A. THAT YOU HAVE A COPY OF YOUR TICKET. IT IS THE BURDEN OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO PROVIDE THE PROOF TO PROSECUTE A TICKET. ALLOT OF TIMES THE DA. DOESN'T HAVE A COPY OF THE TICKET, AND THE COPY PROVIDED TO HIM IS ILLEGIBLE AND THE CASE GETS DISMISSED. I ONCE HAD 6 PARKING TICKETS DISMISSED AT ONCE BECAUSE OF THIS. AT 125 PER POP THEY WERE TRYING TO BANKRUPT ME. IN YOUR CASE I WOULD ASK IF THE OFFICER THAT ISSUED THE SUMMONS WAS CARRYING A RULER OR TAPE MEASURE.CHANCES ARE THAT HE WASN'T. IF HE WASN'T HOW WAS HE ABLE TO TELL THE AMOUNT OF SPACE BETWEEN YOUR CAR AND THE CURB.
