Did you end up paying the tickets or fighting it?

Reminds me of when my motorcycle was towed from my apartment complex. It was held by a private towing company, but for some reason the city suspected the bike was stolen, so the tow lot (allegedly) couldn't release it until the city completed their 'investigation'. Meanwhile I was on the hook for every day that it sat in the tow yard (not to mention the rental car to get to work), but powerless to get it out. Eventually the city cleared it and I owed like 2k. I desperately wish I fought it but for some reason I just paid it...

I fought it which basically entailed me going to some city government building and showing the guy I was out of town for some of the days and so wasn’t able to keep an eye on my bike. He essentially told me to pound sand and so I ended up paying it. The absurdity tempered the fury.
