Changed my mind about fighting a parking ticket after seeing the city's photo evidence

I got a parking ticket downtown near 104 Ave last month for $75. I was ready to fight it because I thought I was parked legally. Then I went to the city's parking ticket review office by City Hall and asked to see the photo. The picture showed my front tire clearly over the line into the no-stopping zone by about 6 inches. I argued with the lady there for 10 minutes before she pulled up the exact timestamp and angle. That changed my mind completely. I just paid the ticket online that afternoon instead of wasting more time. Has anyone else had a similar experience with parking enforcement photos?

Ha, @loganburns, I practically jumped out of my chair seeing my own middle school photo up there like a mugshot!
