Please don't take offense but you asked for opinions, here's mine:

Was your car parked in a place that was marked as no parking?
If not, fight it.
If so, it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. it doesn't matter who took the picture. it doesn't matter is it was a weekend. it doesn't matter how messed up the computer system is.
if you did something wrong, you should fess us and pay the fine.
Forget about if they can prove it or if you can get away with it.

Accountability has nothing to do with how you got caught or what they can prove.
