Pro tip: I thought getting a ticket dismissed in Chicago was a lost cause until I actually went to court
Got a parking ticket last year for being too close to a hydrant on North Avenue. The sign was faded and I was sure I was right, so I fought it. I went in expecting a quick loss and a fine, but the hearing officer actually listened. I brought a photo from that day showing the sign was unreadable. They looked at it, asked a couple questions, and just dismissed the ticket. I was shocked. I always heard the city never lets you win, but they did. It took about 20 minutes total at the Daley Center. Has anyone else had a good result fighting a ticket, or was I just lucky?
