except that I wasn't parked near any intersection.

That's a back lane... and according to my city's website an intersection is defined as "any place where two public streets meet".

So not paying this bullshit ticket. Probably some asshole who had to meet his quota so they gave me this ticket.

This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.

So you're willing to face jail time and/or collection agencies because you don't agree with the officer?

Go to court and dispute it if you feel that strongly about it.

Not to say you're wrong but in some cases the curve counts toward the intersection, doesn't it? When it comes to making turns, it is annoying if a car is parked right at the edge and you gotta do a sharp right to make the turn. Still, worth disputing at least.

But it's not even an intersection. It's a back lane. An intersection is like X Street and Y street. The city's webpage defines it as so. I've already sent in the dispute.

Would be relevant if he said the ticket was for parking in proximity to a public street.

That is a T intersection, the clue is in the name.

There are controlled and uncontrolled intersections. That uncontrolled intersection can include an access road intersecting with a proper street. That's still a public road going on to private property

Actually, I was over a meter away from the back lane. Like I said, it was just an asshole with a quota to fill. Been parking there for over a month now. Same spot, 5 days a week. No problem.
