It was for a misdemeanor in which bail was posted and an evidence repository was not used. The misdemeanor was dropped even after they had served a false complaint.
i only tried it once and it worked with a parking ticket,
i read over every word on the ticket carefully looking for the escape,
and sure enough i found one,
there was some words on it stating that if a voluntary payment was made in three days that the fine would only be $25 instead of what it had listed on it, can't remember how much it stated something like $75,
so i sent it back saying that i don't volunteer for anything that they have to offer,
they sent me a letter saying that i have a one time exemption from paying,
so i kept the letter because i look at it like that is the only time they will send me that letter (one time) and i will use it all the time for parking exemption,
the streets are public right?
so how can they charge the public to park on them?
the public owns them,
i think we are looking at tickets all wrong,
what is a ticket?
if you had a ticket for an event does not that mean a "card or piece of paper that gives its holder a right or privilege"?
so for an event this would mean you have the right to enter the event,

Definition of 'Debenture'
A type of debt instrument that is not secured by physical assets or collateral. Debentures are backed only by the general creditworthiness and reputation of the issuer. Both corporations and governments frequently issue this type of bond in order to secure capital. Like other types of bonds, debentures are documented in an indenture.
'Debenture'
Debentures have no collateral. Bond buyers generally purchase debentures based on the belief that the bond issuer is unlikely to default on the repayment. An example of a government debenture would be any government-issued Treasury bond (T-bond) or Treasury bill (T-bill). T-bonds and T-bills are generally considered risk free because governments, at worst, can print off more money or raise taxes to pay these type of debts.
the holder of a ticket has a privilege backed by the general creditworthiness and reputation of the issuer.
what is this privilege of a parking ticket?
the only thing i can see is the face value of the ticket,
now how can one access this privilege?
cashing it in maybe?
