I got a $25 ticket yesterday for my inoperable unregistered van, and today they towed it. I want to just take my stuff out and let them keep it because I was going to sell it for scraps anyway. I don't know if the judge involved might have room to be reasonable if I kindly explain my financial troubles and some issues that have been between myself and the US military regarding this vehicle (the service made me purchase a vehicle to get from the barracks to work and refused to give wear and tare or gas compensation for owning it before I was financially ready) but if there is any way for me to get out of paying the ticket on top of being raped the value of the scrap for myself, I'd like some advice on what the letter of dispute should say.
