Something similar happened to my mother many many years ago.
She came and parked in front of our driveway, blocking it, then
went inside. Went out a while later to find a ticket for blocking
a driveway.
So, she heads down to city hall to argue, and they tell her there
that she has to set a court date, and that they can't just cancel
the ticket. She's incredulous after showing her license with the
address listed being the same, the person behind the counter still
wouldn't cancel the ticket. So she sets the court date.
Shows up with my father in court and after about a minute it's
officially cancelled.
No one up until the court would throw it out. No common sense
at all, probably just hoping the ticket would be paid and everyone
would move along, the city being $10 richer.
It was a $10 ticket, but it was the principle of being able to
park in front of your home. [Also found out that if someone wants
to park in front of your house, and you don't want them to, you can
have them towed. Is this still applicable?]
