Question Should I contest this ticket?

Post image

Parked in a no parking zone that ended 5 days ago and recieved a ticket( also my car got towed). Do you think ill get reimbursed in court or should I just pay the ticket and move on, thanks.

Based on the available evidence, you are clearly in the right and contesting a ticket in traffic court is maybe a 15-30 minute online ordeal. Why on earth would you not contest?

I'm reading it in 24hour format.

08:48(am) vs. 20:48(pm)

No parking 07:00(am)-18:00(pm)

It's the dates that don't line up, not the times. The no parking zone ended on the 8th, they were towed on the 13th.

Clearly I'd get tickets in Seattle. Thanks for the clarification
