Was in the City of Brotherly Love for a business conference Friday.
My business partner had never been to Philly and wanted to see the Liberty Bell.
I parked RIGHT across the street from it and we went to see that and a nearby museum that interested me .
We were gone about 1 hour total but i was given a parking ticket .
$51 bucks ..
Would you pay it ?
We did get a tip to have a cheesesteak at Sonny's on 2nd street 
Delicious
my car
I have 30 days to decide what to do
If your car is registered in another state you have no worries. However if you go back to Pa and someone checks your tag when you are parked you may find your car gets booted.
That is the way it works in my state anyway.
Yea someone else said it above, eventually it'll end up in collections. My girlfriend got a ticket for some stupid moving violation in Vermont (We live in NY) about 4 years ago. It was a $75 ticket and she said fuck it I'll never be back here anyways and threw it out. This past fall we got a letter from a collection agency saying we owe $200 to Vermont Motor Vehicles. We paid it right away but American Express ended up cutting our credit limit in half due to a "major delinquency." So in short, pay it or it'll bite you in the ass somewhere down the line.
Good info guys.
I could see a moving violation ( surprised home state didnt suspend license given resprocity agreement between states )
I would think you could fight a parking ticket on credit report.
Whenever I fight anything I report I require they show where I signed for something or authorized transaction.

).An officer drove by and saw my truck illegally parked and stopped.
My manager called me to inform of what was happening and I rushed outside! The officer asked for my DL and proof of insurance ( which had expired Jan.1,2010) .... my valid one was in my desk at home ( dumbass #2).The officer spent about 5 minutes to punch in my info and to see if I indeed had insurance ( which I told him I did.)When the officer came out of his truck and walked towards me I could see the white ticket folded up with my license and I was prepared to be 
.The officer told me that he was giving me a warning and told me that if he was to write a ticket for this parking violation, the fine would be $649.00 .... GULP ..... !!!!! 
The cop also informed me that even when a business is closed that someone can be ticketed, but the chances of that happening are pretty slim .... yea, I'm gonna take that chance! 
I thanked the officer and shook his hand.
I don't make it a habit of parking in a handicap parking except at work .... but this close call sure cured me fast! If he had given me a ticket ..... I had no one to blame, but myself ! Note: I've never be given a ticket (speeding or otherwise)and this keeps my record perfect! 
So your insurance company and local DMV know nothing about the speeding tickets?
C'mon dude.
umgumu, you seem like a level headed decent enough guy ... how about paying it simply becasue it is the right thing to do?
Too many people spend their lives always trying to get over. Instead of wasting energy looking for angles and loop holes they should put some effort into doing the right thing.

It honestly is just baffling as to what people think others would lie about. Some of you motherfuckers are so fucking skeptical its ridiculous.
