Does anyone have any word templates to dispute a parking ticket?

None that I've ever heard of. Maybe because each one would be different from
the last.

Besides, I'd think that a parking ticket would be tougher to dispute than a
speeding ticket. You're either parked someplace when you should be or you
aren't.

Ricardo, use any of the standard letter templates. Explain why you think the
ticket isn't justified.

JoAnn, you might be surprised. There was a big flap in Philly some years ago
about this. The police were issued ticket books with numbered pages, and
they had to account for every page. It was alleged that some people were
able to bribe patrolmen, or pull rank by showing off their city government
connections. The parking officer couldn't just tear up the ticket, so they
would finish writing it, but put some random license plate number on it. The
owner of that license would be stuck trying to prove that they weren't
guilty, and maybe weren't even in the city at the time of the supposed
offense. In some cases the car with that plate was in Erie or Pittsburgh.

Thanks, JoAnn, for you reply to my request for a dispute to a parking ticket
violation. To more exact it is a Municipal Code Violation Notice for the
City of Chicago.

The exact violation was an "Invalid Front Plate". I could find not
explanation of this from the police department, the ticket itself, city
website nor friends.

Also, a notice of a parking violation is not always valid violation.

I'm glad I don't live in Philly! I've gotten a couple parking tickets. One
for expired time, one for parking in a private lot (seriously, I was only
there for under 10 minutes!), and one for parking facing the wrong way. (I
had just started driving and we could do that at home. I didn't realize the
rules were different in the city.)
