Nobody is arguing that incorrectly issued tickets shouldn&#x27;t be challenged. It depends if you think knowingly abusing the system to evade responsibility for wrongdoing is a reasonable and valid defence. This isn&#x27;t just an us versus them situation. We all have an interest in parking space being appropriately regulated, to our mutual benefit. It&#x27;s not inappropriately parking vehicle drivers versus &#x27;the state&#x27; and sticking it to the man. It&#x27;s inappropriately parking vehicle drivers versus other vehicle drivers, pedestrians and in fact pretty much everyone who lives in cities.
