I just got a $508 ticket at UCLA. Parking. Seriously. To pay or not to pay? Thoughts? Do the UC tickets ever really matter?

WTF? What for?
And I say you challenge it--UCLA is part of the state government, after all.

I need a job where I can internet shop for people all day.
If you figure out how to do this, let me know.

Taking the university president's parking space?

Because books.
Seriously, that's absurd. Parking, like, IN the cafeteria or something, maybe. Otherwise, contest the hell out of it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesus. And I was feeling bad because I read 12am as 12pm and will be out $64. $508 should be way outside what penalty can be assessed for freaking parking, unless there's emergency access involved.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Maybe it's voluntary, like the red-light tickets?? [link]
