Reply to comment by esushi in Question: Does this sign mean I need a permit to park there period? by wisperino345

Better question is if you parked from 10 to 10:30, they scanned you at 10:10, you leave and come back at 5 and park from 5-6, and they scan you at 5:30. They must assume you parked for 7+ hours right?

Yes, this happened to me. Had a receipt and everything during the time I was gone.

Challenged it in traffic court, Judge upheld the ticket, but reduced it to a $10 fine and said don't do it again.

This happened to me. I was in the spot for 20 minutes. Left and went to another part of town for a meeting and lunch where I was paying them to park. Came back for 15 minutes to drop something off and got a ticket while inside. I had GPS proof of my timeframe and location. And proof I was actively paying in another zone and still had to pay the full ticket. The judge did not care.

Yeah that’s how it works. There’s no practical way for them to know you were gone , or at least not for how long.
