Now in New York, you can protest the penalty for improper parking on the Internet

In the US, one of the most unpleasant things for any driver is getting a parking ticket or driving a red light. It seems to be literally gone for a minute, and upon returning over the windshield you can see a rather big fine (in some places up to a couple of hundred dollars), or drove into the yellow light, and a picture came in by mail with a fine for driving a red light. According to American law, you can protest any fine in a special court, but if earlier you had to either go to court on the appointed day or write a paper letter to the court with evidence of your innocence, then from today you can fight for your innocence the internet.

For this you need:

• fill out an application for an electronic hearing on a special website
• Write why you consider yourself innocent, if available - add evidence of your rightness (photos, documents).

A special judge will review your application and within 30 days will make a decision on your case. You will receive an answer by email.
This program (albeit on another site ) can also be used by those who received an “environmental” fine. These are considered to be improperly disposed of waste (they threw the battery, building concrete, etc. into the trash, instead of handing it to a specialized place and paying money for it), erroneously recycled waste (they threw household garbage into the trash "only for recyclables") and fines for pollution of the streets with your pet waste. About 250 thousand such fines are issued annually.
In New York, about 10 million are issued for improper parking per year, of which about 1.2 million are disputed, of which 500 thousand are annulled.
