I got a parking ticket once when I parked in front of a post that once had a no parking sign on it, but was missing, the cop watched me get out of my car and said nothing to me. Ten min. later I came out and there was a ticket on my windshield. Again, the sign with the big P on it and the red circle and slash....it was not there. I had no idea I couldn't park there and the cop could have easily told me this instead of waiting for me to leave my car. I called the cop to discuss this with him. He agreed that the sign was missing, but said I should have seen the smaller sign on the post that just had a black arrow on it and known that I couldn't park where that arrow was pointed. WTF? I came back with a camera, took photos and brought them to court. Before I could even show them to the judge, the cop walked up to show the judge his own photos. They were identical to my photos!!!! Judge said, "Mr. LeSchander, say no more. Dismissed. Have a nice day"
