    I received a citation for an expired meter on 6/1/16 which was issued at 3:00pm. I have the screenshot of my parking being paid until 3:04pm via the ParkMobile app. I approached the meter guy as he was writing the ticket and he said "sometimes it doesn't show up". I showed him my ACTIVE parking session and he explained that it didn't matter. That I either had to pay it or contest it. I contested it via the New Haven Parking site and included an image of my PAID parking session that was clearly still valid. I was informed that my protest was declined and that I should submit payment. I am a small business owner who paid$2186.89 in meter fees through the app last year AND I also, have to move my vehicle every 2 hours to avoid penalties. Not cool.
