My car was parked on a city street in Chicago and I received a ticket for noncompliant plates I do have Illinois plates and have a tinted cover. In a response on the website, you stated this is a moving violation. Since this is a moving violation and my car was parked, is the ticket valid?
Thank you,
Katrina
Katrina,
Most likely you received a Chicago City ordinance ticket. These are written under a local ordinance and not under the state law. Otherwise, the State law is not normally enforced unless your car is on the road (moving). If it is an ordinance citation, it wouldn't normally show up as a moving violation on your record. You can check with the City Attorney to confirm this.
