I got a parking ticket for parking after 10pm at La Jolla shores (beach parking lot). It was so dark I couldnt see any signs. There are absolutely no lights in the parking lot, it is impossible to see color. The roads there are pretty narrow. There are lots of cars parked along the sidewalk, so I was trying my hardest not to hit anything, so I must have missed the sign that said no parking after 10pm. I never actually saw a sign that said no parking after 10pm, I assumed there was a sign AFTER I got the ticket and after I left.

My question is should I just pay the $40 dollar ticket or can I appeal or reduce the fine? I seriously think this is bull****. I can pay the ticket, but I don't have much money to fall back on right now. Thanks for any advice. I don't want any "you're a moron for blah blah blah". What would you do in my position?
