Otherwise go talk to       the people in the office.        Sometimes photo's are taken for questionable violations:        "It wasn't marked handicap". According to this photo the sign is right       there in the photo.        "I had my HC hang tag up". Not according to this photo.        "It wasn't marked no parking". The sign is right there in the photo.               > I'm humble enough to know I can be wrong, so I'll never call someone a liar       & cheat               I am also humble enough to know when I make a mistake and correct it.        I also know that people lie to try to get out of the fine.        One of the things I say in the office when someone has been complaining       about a ticket: Another of my many unhappy dissatisfied customers? :)        Joe       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 www.doccyber.org bbs.docsplace.org (1:135/392)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/0 18/0 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 116/116       SEEN-BY: 120/340 616 123/0 10 25 40 115 126 131 150 160 180 190 200       SEEN-BY: 123/257 755 129/305 135/300 366 371 379 382 383 384 385 388       SEEN-BY: 135/390 391 392 153/7715 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 220/80 90 221/1 6 226/18 30 227/114 201 229/424 426 428 452       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 240/1120 5832 249/206 307 317 400 261/38 280/464       SEEN-BY: 282/464 1038 292/854 299/6 300/4 301/0 1 101 113 123 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 335/364 341/66 342/200 633/280 712/848 920/1 2320/105       SEEN-BY: 3634/0 12 15 24 27 50 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 135/392 300 3634/12 154/10 301/1 229/426           |
