I would have just wrote out a check for the amount owed. Take a picture of the check. Mail them a picture of the check.

actually you need to research the law in your area. some are "laws/contracts" are written down as voluntary payment. this was in the news about a year or two ago. some big city on the east coast had one on the book for years. and when it was let known to the people nobody paid anymore and in fact never had to pay. but the ones that did pay could not get money back and the ones that never paid got off scott clean.

they named some other cities that had the same "law" so others are out there.

Most if not all these are third party getting politicians to get these put up. marketed as free money for the city. third party pays to put them up, maintain, and do all the paperwork. City sits back and gets a percentage of all tickets. Free money.

On LI,NY they seem to leave them up about a year till the money dies off ( everyone learns they're there ) and then move them to a new location.
