特别说明：以下罚单申诉方法，不适用于公园内收费停车场的ticket，hearing officer查询不到该类tickets的 citation number。可能因为公园收费停车场运营是一个企业或者独立机构，缺钱，罚了一般不吐。而以下方法是指政府行为，如警察贴的路边罚单等，会有contest成功的可能性。
前不久参加朋友聚会，在一个公园里烧烤，第一次去这个公园，所有人都是，玩的非常开心。但是所有参加人的车都被贴了罚单，无一幸免。如果一个人被罚可能是故意违反规则停车，抱有侥幸心理。而所有人的车同时被罚就不应该是我们问题，事实证明，该停车场在我们进入的方向没有明确标识，在停车点前只剩下一个空杆，没有标识牌！
这样坑，被40美刀罚单，不服！凭什么把中国人的钱白白地交给美帝，要勇于与一切不合理现象做斗争！
对于认为不合理的情况，和国内一样，进行申诉，美帝的罚单申诉有两种渠道：
- 向处罚部门申诉撤销
通常不会接受，处罚部门一般不会接受自己处罚错误。
我先向管理部门提交了dispute的材料，等了半个月，收到一封来信，告诉我不接受，罚款不变。
对于parking ticket，请参考Minneapolis Park&Recreation Board中的说明
Dispute a ticket，填写PDF表格，发到info@minneapolisparks.org。
还有替代方案，就是Convert Your Citation to a Permit，可能也是在被罚情形确着时的不错选择。 - 向Hearing officer所在Minnesota Judicial Branch申请
Here's How to Contest a Parking Ticket in Minneapolis
You'll need to see a hearing officer to discuss the case. Hearing officers are available at the downtown Minneapolis courthouse, and at the three suburban Hennepin County courthouses in Brooklyn Center, Edina and Minnetonka. The downtown Minneapolis courthouse sees cases on a walk-in basis and by appointment, the other three courthouses see cases by appointment only.
Take the parking ticket, a photo ID, and any documentation you may have to support your case. The hearing officer has the power to reduce the fine or cancel the citation if he/she agrees with you.
Hennepin Criminal & Traffic Division，提前电话预约，**Call the Court Payment Center (Metro (651) 281-3219, Outside the metro 1 (800) 657-3611) to schedule an appointment **。只有Hennepin Co. Goverment Center接受直接的walk-in和预约，其它几个都只接受预约。
