Man Fights Parking Ticket For Two Years

Posted by samzenpus on from the fight-the-good-fight dept.

Simon Belsky, 61, was issued a $115 parking ticket on Nov. 3, 2006, for blocking a fire hydrant. Simon claims the only hydrant was a good distance down the block from where he parked and has been fighting the ticket for more than two years now. The fine has since increased to $200 with penalties and Belsky estimates that he has spent $7,500 on legal fees so far, but he doesn't plan on giving up the fight. "I got nothing else to do. I'm retired," he said.

    If this guy wins his challenge against the ticket can we ban idle from Slashdot forever? Just a thought.
