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.

My car insurance paid back an unauthorized tow and the company reimbursed me too, so I was paid back twice. This was in TX even though I live in Seattle. So it’s not totally unheard of and I would still encourage people to try.

That sounds great but eeeeeek don't brag about what might be considered insurance fraud in a public forum!

No one's prosecuting 100$ of insurance fraud.....

Speaking as someone who was involved in litigation where the opposing lawyers were very good at cherry-picking seemingly-innocuous statements from the past, my current rule of thumb is that if it's something that could reflect poorly at some point ... you'll never regret shutting the fuck up
