[QUOTE="Deep Purple, post: 2834175, member: 17"] I was on the Citation Appeals Committee for two years. For first-time offenders, we almost routinely gave them a pass -- especially new-to-campus freshmen. Upperclassmen, who know exactly where they are and aren't allowed to park, got stricter scrutiny. For repeat offenders, we excused them only if there were obvious extenuating conditions like poorly marked spaces or unclear signage. This is where phone cameras come in handy. We excused quite a few violators who showed us a photo defense of a confusing parking situation. But for those who parked in fire lanes, handicap spaces, or reserved spaces? Absolutely no mercy. These were the only violators for whom we weren't predisposed to cut them some slack. We actually had a senior who racked up 38 unpaid violations totaling over $2,700 (parking in handicap and reserved spaces is expensive), and this guy actually had the nerve to appeal. I was looking forward to that hearing just to observe how creative his defense might be, but he didn't show up. A real shame. For a really entertaining defense, we probably would have halved his fines. I never heard whether he actually paid his parking debts and got his degree. [/QUOTE]
