No, you cannot simply claim that you never received the ticket. When we issue a ticket there are actually two copies, the actual parking ticket that is served to the vehicle/driver and the officer's copy that legally certifies that the first copy was served and how. It is part of our evidence that we present in court.
People try all the time to claim that they never got the ticket but that never works. Do you really think it would be that simple to get rid of a parking ticket or that the city would leave a loophole like that wide open? Apparently you are easily confused. Thanks for coming out.
