- In slightly the same vein, something happened to a friend of mine. It
- was 2am, and he was in an area of Somerville that was permit parking
- 1am-8am. When he got to his car, he found a ticket. However, the
- time written on it was 2:45am.
-
- He didn't bother to swing by the police station to get it certified
- that the ticket was, indeed, timed in the future, but if he had, what
- would have happened? Obviously, the ticket is invalid, but in stating
- that he discovered this at 2am, and was thus still parked illegally
- for an hour, could/would they still ticket him? Or can they not do
- that after the fact?
