I said it in the op I don't mind paying a fine. I just want to know if there's any way to get it talked down from $300.

Im a broke arse college student and can't afford $300 right now.

So OP is bitching about having to pay the price for knowingly and willingly breaking the law.

That about right?

You didn't learn after the first time?



Pay the fine and move on.

Perhaps you should have considered that BEFORE parking in a handicapped spot.

One thing you're going to learn in college student is that the white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

Fighting a parking in handicap zone ticket


La.R.S. §1742 provides that:

...

B.(1) No person shall park any vehicle in an accessible parking space unless such person has a license plate or hang tag for persons with mobility impairments issued pursuant to R.S. 47:463.4 or a properly displayed special parking card issued pursuant to R.S. 47:463.4.1.

(2)(a) The law enforcement officer shall be authorized to issue a citation or take whatever law enforcement action is deemed necessary or both. Furthermore, when an individual found to be in violation of these provisions refuses a request by a law enforcement officer to move the vehicle found in violation, the officer shall be authorized to have such vehicle towed.

...

(3) The first violation of the provisions of this Subsection shall be punished by a fine of two hundred seventy-five dollars. A subsequent violation shall be punished by a fine of five hundred dollars.

(4) If the violator is other than an individual, a fine of five hundred dollars shall be imposed.

(5) In addition to such fine, the violator may also be required to pay the towing fee and any storage costs which are incurred.

...

(7) No fine issued pursuant to this Section shall be reduced or suspended.


tl/dr: You're screwed. Ignorance of the law is not a defense. Failure to adhere to no parking in a handicap spot without a handicap license doesn't give you a whole lot of wiggle room.

Getting towed would have only cost you about $180

Donating plasma is guaranteed money. Waiting for your broke arse college friends to help you pay for a parking ticket might land your arse in jail from a bench warrant for failure to pay the fine.

300 is chump change. Get a job minimum wage job and work 6-7 shifts in your free time and that will be paid off.

Or you can hire an attorney for $500+ and probably get it taken care of. Your choice.

Webster's Dictionary, between 'shite' and 'syphillis'. That's where you'll find my 'sympathy' for you on this one.

It's funny send a kid to college and they cannot figure out blue parking spots are for handicap people.

Let's ask ourselves before we park in a spot that is blue and has a handicap sign.
1. Do I have a handicap tag or place card for my vehicle?

2. Can I afford to pay the fine or willing to pay the fine if caught?

If the answer is no to both questions do not park in the spot!

Since you did you were willing to take a chance on getting caught and you got caught now pay the fine!

How hard is that.

I'm fine with paying a fine but not $300. Has anyone gotten one of these and had it reduced before? ETA: i was give a city ticket not campus.

Handicap zone tickets never get reduced. I think the fines are closer to $ 375. My guess is that you will never park in a handicap zone again - which is the reason they do not reduce them.
