Since my car is prone to door dings, I always parked in the same spot at Foothill College -- WAY out of the way, to the very outside of an END spot with no other cars around. I received a ticket (which I am still fighting) for "taking up AN additional space". I was parked (with a valid $3.00 ticket on the dash) a tire's width over the white line on the side of the line along the END of the parking lot
So, if the code section you were cited for was for parking outside the marked space, you'll likely lose. Sorry.

In the meantime, you can continue to dispute parking tickets, or pay them and clear your registration. If the parking tickets are holding up your registration then it is because they have been reported to the DMV as unpaid. You had best be careful, because they might have gone to collections of Foothill engages in that.

A few weeks later, before hearing back on the first ticket ... (I can only assume to be harassed),
I seriously doubt that the cps there have a list of vehicles to mess with ... really, that's not likely. You're hardly the first person to dispute or complain about a parking ticket, and if the department issued a "hit list" of people to "harass" that would get out real quick ... not to mention that most officers really aren't going to care that much to bother your car because you are disputing a ticket. In fact, most the department won't have a clue nor care.

Both items were returned with the standard "not enough information" even though I supplied proof and photos in all cases. I sent an additional letter and then never got anything from them again - no mail, email, nothing.
And when you went down to speak to someone in person? Or called? What happened?

My auto registration was paid in full 2 weeks early to the DMV. In fact, there was an extra $68.00 fee that was not described (other than "fee") that I paid as well. I got a letter a month after my registration had expired saying I owed more fees (another $68.00) and that I had an incomplete application (still don't have my registration tags as of today.
Sounds like they were reported to the DMV as delinquent and they appear to believe your dispute is overwith. Maybe you need to talk to a live body?

The extra fee is likely a late fee attached for delinquent parking cites.

I will not pay to be harassed and abused just because this greedy institution is making my life miserable and jeopardizing my livelihood (as I drive kids around with expired tags, now). I paid my $3.00 parking fee in BOTH instances and clearly displayed the large, dated tag (no possible way anyone could miss it and I have photos).
Then don't pay. No one is saying you have to. But, there will be consequences to not paying the citations and clearing this hold on your registration. Keep in mind that when your registration has been delinquent for 6 months, your vehicle is subject to impound.

Maybe you can get a new hearing, but talk to people in person! Forget email and online, try talking to a live body!
