I happen to think that <i>all</i> accusations of crimes (or non-criminal infractions) should be challenged, not just those which are false.<p>I see this as a miniature version of the extremely worrying argument about plea bargaining, that it is necessary because the courts couldn&#x27;t handle the huge volume of trials that would be required without it.<p>If you&#x27;re handing out so many violations that you can&#x27;t handle everyone engaging in an active defense against them, then you&#x27;re doing something deeply wrong, and the solution isn&#x27;t to discourage people from exercising their legal rights.<p>Yes, we all have an interest in parking space being appropriately regulated, but we all have a much <i>greater</i> interest in the state&#x27;s punitive power being appropriately exercised, and I&#x27;m sure there are ways to achieve both anyway.
