Did anyone try to contest it? I’m a first time offender/visitor, is it worth contesting?

Did anyone try to contest the ticket? I’m wondering if it successfully went through for a first time offender/visitor to the city or is there no point?

My situation is similar to Ruben Carrillo’s post. I got the citation end-March/2011, and the amount is $53. There are no signs on the street whatsoever. Arcadia city said that they don’t have street signs, but there are signs posted at entrances to the city. Hmmm…. where are the entrances and did they seriously cover all the possible entrances to the city? This is very wrong. Terrible.

This is unreal and should be against the law.. my $50.00 ticket is not worth fighting since I live in Northern CA. I will never visit or give my money to any business in Arcadia again. Thanks to their policy of not putting up signs for no parking!!

Scam city shakedown revenue tactics!!…make it transparent and post it on the street signs. Now the cities are wondering why outsiders don’t drop into town more often and spend there hard earned money on retail?

No signage because it’s a city parking scam!!!! If they simply add the clause to the existing street cleaning signage it would cut about 75% of the scam/illegal tickets. Think about that. All it would have to say at the bottom is Overnight Parking by PERMIT ONLY. City of Bell want to be!!!

i WAS IN TOWN TO VISIT MY SISTER FOR THE EVENING. I ARRIVED AFTER IT WAS ALREADY DARK. I SAW NO SIGNAGE AND PARKED MY CAR ON THE STREET. WHEN I LEFT IN THE MORNING I FOUND A PARKING TICKET ON MY CAR. VIOLATION OF SECTION 11.9. A $50 FINE. I LOOKED AGAIN ON THE STREET FOR SOME SORT OF SIGN TO WARN ME THAT I COULD NOT PARK ON A CITY STREET IN ARCADIA. I FOUND NOTHING. I DROVE AROUND HER NEIGHBORHOOD TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY SIGNAGE. I FOUND NOTHING REGARDING NO OVER NIGHT PARKING. I ASKED MY SISTER WHO HAS LIVED IN ARCADIA FOR 6 MONTHS IF SHE KNEW OF THIS LAW AND SHE REPLIED, “NO, I DID NOT KNOW!” THIS SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS WRONG!

Dang wish I would’ve read the paper, or somehow they should’ve posted it. I help my friend close up @ a bar, i got a ticket because I never read the paper. We never are parked past 3am, because we know we’ll get a ticket, to my surprise I got one at 2:32 and it was even scratched out on the ticket, does that still make it a legal ticket?
