I wasn't too concerned because I knew I was past the time and the a previous ticket was only $5. I grabbed the ticket and got in my car but noticed it was different than the last one. I looked closer and found that it was a $257.00 ticket.
I had no intention of paying $257.00 for parking on the road for a 1/2 past the allowed time when there wasn't even any snow on the ground or on the way so a few days later, I decided to call the police dept to speak with a supervisor. Before I called, I grabbed my mail and found a letter from an attorney's office. Finding this odd, I opened the letter right away and found a letter stating that the police department, "in the spirit of the holidays" was dismissing my ticket.
I've never seen a police department do something good in the spirit of the holidays so I'm guessing someone higher up noticed that a patrol person fucked up and had the ticket cancelled.

I recommend do things in writing. You can use it as proof of evidence. Unless you have a recordable phone where all the conversation are recorded. You don't have evidence. It will end up likely he said she said. Politics rule so Minority needs to protect themselves(Cover Your Ass)so Big brother can't come and take your money later. It is very seldom that the police will let you let by, because of spirit of Holiday Season!
