My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: New Jersey. I had went down to the shore and had put money in the meter not corresponding to my parking space. While in my area, that is still not a legal defense, this particular spot was very ambiguous as to which was actually my meter.
I feel like this is an entrapment. Although no one explicitly coerced me into placing money in the wrong meter, the town implicitly did so by not making it clear which parking meter corresponded to my parking space.
However, I am not a lawyer, so my question is can an ambiguous parking meter setup be a strong legal defense against a parking ticket if one had intentionally tried to put money in the meter? And if so, what would I need to prove?
