   If you could prove you are not at fault.

Hear the storyline. Raymond was given a ticket because he parked illegally and, what's worse, he even argued with the police officer.
Officer: Excuse me, sir, you can't park here.
Raymond: I'm just waiting for my friends.  It won't be long.
Officer: Sir, the curb here is not for parking.
Raymond: But I didn't see the sign, Ma'am.
Officer: There's a sign at the corner of the street.  When you turned in here, you should've seen it.
Raymond: I didn't see it.
Officer: I'm sorry, sir.  I have to give you a ticket.  You can appeal to the court within 14 days.  You will avoid paying the fine if you can prove that you are not at fault.
