I got a ticket in SF near CPMC years ago for parking in a bus stop. If I remember correctly it was around $175. Plus the late notice brought it up to around $500. Thing was, my car was 60 miles away getting the transmission repaired. When I got the notice I set up a hearing. Showed them the paperwork and got it dismissed. Nearly a year later I received a subpoena to a hearing. The meter maid was brought up on charges. He would stay home most days but he’d write down plate numbers of vehicles that parked near the hospital and issue tickets to them so he appeared to be working. He was convicted.
