Can you get parking tickets thrown out or reduced?

Can you get parking tickets thrown out or reduced?

Theoretically yes I can, but they require actually attending in court so I just don't have the volume right now for it to be worth it. Hopefully I can start taking them on in the future.

They usually only reduce the fine down to the original amount, so for example if it was a $40 ticket originally (if you paid it right away) then it escalates to $75 eventually before they finally send you the actual violation ticket. If you take that to court then at that point they offer to take it down to $40 so you're not really ahead. Usually better off just paying the lower amount as soon as you get it.

Hey JoniBoy,

Thanks again for getting a reduction on that ticket a couple months ago.

My dad got a speeding ticket in the mail - any chance you’re headed to the Courthouse soon and could help out?

Thanks again!

JoniBoy just saved me $155 on a red light ticket!

[chocolatecoffee]

Thanks for handling my dad's ticket as well, JoniBoy - he's thrilled he saved $42 on his speeding ticket!

JoniBoy saved my mom $155 on a red light ticket and had her demerits reduced. Thanks again!

Are you reallly just doing this for the hell of it? That’s pretty awesome if so.

[ExtraSlow]

I heard he does it for the hot chicks.

[JoniBoy]

Hahah, currently doing it just for the hell of it yep (my office is pretty close by). Thinking there's some business/side gig potential but I want to be passing most of the savings along to ppl so I'd need to get pretty insane volumes to make it work. Either way, I've saved people almost $8k now so I gotta be building up some good karma or something at the very least!

Wish I would have seen this before, although I am not sure it would have made a diff since I am in Lethbridge.
I had a 250 ticket, Photo radar. Wanted to get a reduction, went to the court house and was told to show up on the date shown on my ticket.
I work like a block away so it wasn't a big deal but I did spend at least 90 min there in total and the Judge just gave me a $30 break, I was not impressed.
It was my first ever court appearance and the break he was giving others was around the same.
Did I do something wrong?
Edit: I have not paid the ticket yet, is there anything I can still do about it?
Thanks

It sounds like you did it right. $30 does seem a bit stingy though...I'd have expected closer to $75 on a $250 speeding ticket, but all my experience is at the Calgary courthouse. If you've already plead guilty to the lowered fine I don't think there's much you can do unfortunately.

[ExtraSlow]

Everything I have heard about out-of-town courts is that they offer less generous plea deals.

Shout out to Jon! Helped me out once again.

tnx

[mr2mike]

Is the court house still open? Can you go speak with a JOP?

[JoniBoy]

Nope, traffic counter is closed https://albertacourts.ca/pc/resource...porary-closure

I've been able to have them put over tickets until end of June so far via phone/email - hopefully it's open by then!
