However, apparently if you get one of these in the smaller towns up north, they can usually be negotiated down to a "parking ticket."

Got 3 in Mesa and all we did was not pay them and wait to be served. I think it's like 18 months from the date of the offense of something like that. We never once got served, all tickets have since expired and have not appeared on insurance.
