Ticket is valid. You were parked illegally. Parking Officer SAW you parked illegally, that's enough. In theory, the P.O. could have witnessed your car parked illegally, let you get in the car and drive off, and then pulled you over several blocks later to give the parking infraction.

Best of luck.*******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******

The ticket may or may not have flaws on it that affect whether it is a valid charging document.
