Got a parking ticket dismissed in Cleveland last Tuesday with just a photo on my phone

I parked in a spot that looked fine but had some faded paint, and the officer wrote me up for blocking a fire lane. I took a picture showing the paint was barely visible and the judge actually agreed it was confusing, so they dropped the $75 fine. Has anyone else had luck fighting tickets with simple photos like that?

I read somewhere that a guy in Chicago got out of like six tickets just by showing photos of missing signs. Sounds like you got lucky with a reasonable judge.

Ngl, it’s not Chicago, I think you mean a different city.
