Hoping someone can help me out here.
I was downtown picking a friend up after work. It was rush hour after work and I stopped in at the side of the road twice in the same spot for maybe a couple of minutes tops across from my friends building while she took the elevator down from her office and cross the street to where I was. She wasn't ready the first time I stopped so I even moved my car and did a loop around so I wouldn't be taking up the parking spot. Both times I didn't leave the car, didn't even turn my engine off and I got ticketed by one of the camera cars.

I don't even think I turned off my signal light when I was pulled over.
If I had any intention of leaving my car and I would have paid for parking. As it stands I was in that parking spot less than a minute or so each time I was stopped. So question is, is there any way I can possibly get out of this ticket? Has anyone had any luck with the appeals process or am I SOL? Thanks.
