Parking ticket question


I got a parking ticket today for an expired meter. It is 15.00 or 30.00 if I were to pay late.

The state on the ticket is labeled as NY while my car is registered in AZ. The license plate number was correct. Suppose I were to ignore the ticket. Would they be able to correctly identify me?

Not sure if AZ and NY have an agreement to share MVD/DMV info, but Arizona has seriously cracked down on tickets. Two years ago I got ticketed in Tucson for parking the wrong direction in front of my house. I blew it off and they ended up tagging my registration, so I couldnt re-register my vehicle. Ended up paying some unnecessary late fines.

After that, I pay these kind of tickets immediately, even though it sucks.

thanks for the reminder, just paid my $30 parking ticket via the online page here in DC before it doubled up.

Sure the info is mutually accessible, but how much error checking is done, i.e. if I don't pay the ticket and they try to look me up in the NY registry what do they do when my info does not pop up? Do they initiate any sort of national search?

what is being more and more common is that when your registration comes up, it will flag as having unpaid tickets in other states

with AZ & NY being so far apart it may not be an issue - but if it is an issue it's a bigger headache than just paying the ticket to begin with - not like it's a lot of cash

I have no idea what happens... I had a 1999 Lincoln Continental and I had the plates stolen... I reported it to the police took my report to the DMV and paid for new plates...

A year later I sold the car....

A few years after that I got a ticket from Pheonix, Arizona sent to my house, it was a fire lane parking violation and some God aweful high amount and the ticket was written to a Black Toyota Pick Up truck and the plates were the old plates of the continental. It took me months of arguing and sending proof to get them to stop trying to get me to pay. The proof of stolen plates was not good enough, they said I could have used those plates on the Pick up... They finally left me alone after I sent copies of the bill of sale and title transfer with the new plate numbers...

Best bet, pay the ticket...

I think you're missing my question. What I want to know is what are the consequences of them thinking my license plate is NY plate ABC123 instead of AZ plate ABC123

I want to beat the parking nazis if at all possible. I am also thinking of calling them and telling them "my friend" is in this situation and considering not paying the ticket.

Oh wait. They marked the ticket as NY? Are your actual plates NY or AZ?

yep - i definitely missed that - if they wrote the wrong ticket, then there is no way for them to track it

they'll run NY ABC and if that person exists they may be a headache down the road - but if they wrote the ticket wrong, the documenation they log will also be wrong

you should be good

Make waves and the "vehicle registration nazis" may be on your case! Sounds like you know you were wrong...


Pay the ticket.

I’d just pay the ticket. When I was in Alaska we thought we had gotten away with something because Oregon and Alaska had the same colored license plates at the time. We had an orange Oregon plate and they mistakenly took it for an orange Alaska plate. However, people that work for the state get very irritated and vengeful when you try to betray the law. I would just pay the ticket and have it off of your conscience if I were you…….
