That don't mean your guilty in the eyes of the law.Why not ask a solicitor for a professional opinion on your chances of beating this rap? Even though I'm not one I would imagine that they are slim. Especially since you have admitted to "absolute guilt" in your own words.
From a purely financial standpoint I would say no for the reasons mentioned by ubiquitous and others above. By challenging it you stand to lose more than you will gain in purely financial terms.So as a legal & financial issue I'm asking the question "Should I challenge the validity of the charge based on the inaccuracy of the charge and sloppiness of legislation".
Eh?But this is not about the money..........
So as a legal & financial issue ...
Huh? Then why, if you don't mind my asking, are you talking about having the charge struck out?I know I've done wrong, I know I've got to pay. None of that is an issue.
You're making several assumptions here which might or might not be borne out by a little research, but I think you'll probably find that the issue is covered by bye-laws passed by your local authority.I want to know why a disc can be a square in the eyes of the law and also why the law does not relect the offence?
Oh, so loaded with assumptions. As I said, it's probably local authority bye-laws and therefore not a matter for the legislature, and it's a civil rather than a criminal offence (which is an important distinction). If illegal parking were an arrestable offence for which you could be imprisoned, the procedural and evidential standards would very properly be much higher.I don't need moralistic guidance or anything along those grounds just pure simple observation as to how the law can be so definitive in some areas and criminals are set free on technicalites but our legislators cannot tell the difference between a disc and a square.
As a financial issue, certainly not: it would cost you a great deal in time and stress (which have economically quantifiable values) as well as money. As a legal issue, are you asking if you'd be successful? Don't know, but you might not be.So as a legal & financial issue I'm asking the question "Should I challenge the validity of the charge based on the inaccuracy of the charge and sloppiness of legislation".

Mmhm, I'd had a thought in that direction before recalling that of course the readable bit - the "disc" itself - was round.Actually they were but the casing around them was square!
