    Default Ticketed Twice for the Same Violation

    My question involves a traffic citation from the state of: California

    I recieved a ticket on 4/20/10 for parking in a tow away zone in San Francisco, CA. Luckily i got back to my vehicle before it was towed but was still ticketed for parking there. The violation code is TC32A.1 towaway/downtown

    When i went online to pay the violation I see that i have two tickets both for the amount of $85. I called in regards to the ticket and she told me that I was ticketed once at 4:14pm and again at 4:25pm. I have the ticket for 4:14pm but cannot remember if I had already moved my car by 4:25pm. Is this just a mistake in ticketing or do I really have to pay for the same violation twice in a matter of minutes?

    Any input would be really appreciated. I have to take care of this ASAP

    The no parking sign where you were cited said exactly what?

    Many municipalities have policies on the frequency of ticketing, such that if the tickets are issued closely together they'll dismiss one. With two tickets issued eleven minutes apart, I would definitely look into that.
