Someone in this thread lamented that nobody fights these ridiculous tickets.
Here is someone who did in Junction City, Kansas (about a half-hour drive away from me).
Another article.
Basically, she got a $55 parking ticket from the city on private property (apartment parking lot) overnight for parking on the line. Next to her own car. She parked like that to make room for a moving truck that was using the next spot over. Apparently that night, the city ticketed a bunch of others in the same lot. She didn't feel that they could/should ticket people on private property, and the court of appeals agreed.

Loren, you may have a point about out-of-state plates (also
rural/urban may differ).
Long ago, Dad got pulled over in CA. He was in the right lane, doing
about 15 over and about having his windows rattled off by people flying
by (he wasn't afraid to speed but he wasn't going to go THAT fast!)
When he got pulled over, the officer asked if he knew why and he said
it must be because he was from out of State! The cop told him to follow
him to the station, quite angrily. Uh, what other reason would you pick
one
of the slower cars to target?
And before anybody gets worked up about excessive speed... A) I've
slowed down a lot since then, and B) I was only going that fast
because I was following a guy who was going even faster. :)
Unfortunately, when I asked why he didn't stop the other guy, the cop
said "what other guy?". :)
A friend got pulled over on Blewett Pass, as he was slowing down, to pull
over (he'd had a 44oz super caffinated drink (Caff Pow? ;-) and there
were
no rest stops, just forest roads so...
Wrote him up for doing 72 in a 60! He asked him how fast that truck
that
passed him was going? The officer said something like "47 Miles per hour!"
Going to court didn't even get it dismissed!
