GoLocalPDX: Court Case Argues Portland Parking Tickets Are Not Valid
The result of an obscure traffic court hearing this year has raised questions about whether or not Portland parking tickets conform to state law.
Some legal experts say it’s a good question.
In 2013, over 260,000 parking citations were issued in Portland, generating $18 million for enforcement agencies and the state general fund, according to the Multnomah County court administrator.
But are they valid?
In January Michael Selvaggio took a parking ticket to trial in Multnomah County Circuit Court after he claimed his ticket failed to display the time and place of his court appearance, according to court documents.
