My question involves a traffic citation from the state of: Illinois.
My vehicle was parked at the back of my driveway to the back and side of my house, and I received a parking ordinance violation on my windshield for Failure to display a valid vehicle tax sticker (this is a city sticker required from my village to own and operate a car on the city streets - I was late purchasing mine). My question is can they ticket my car in my own driveway? The circumstance of this is my driveway is long and the sticker is placed on the front windshield of my car which faces away from the street so an officer had to walk about 60 feet on to my property and walk around to the front of my vehicle to check if the sticker is up to date to write me a ticket. I already have to pay a fine for buying my sticker late which is fine and just, but I can't believe they also have the legal right to write me a parking ticket on my own property unless than can see the violation from the street which they couldn't possibly have done.
