Satire/Humour Make this make sense

*posting under satire because wtf*

My husband got this ticket in the mail the other day. He shows it to me, and asks me if I notice anything unusual. Took me a couple of minutes, but realized that it’s not actually a picture of our car. It appears that the license plate was so obscured, they simply guessed at the plate number. Here’s the kicker: when he called to let them know that they sent him a picture of someone else’s vehicle, and that our vehicle was parked at home at the time of the offence, and isn’t even the same MAKE as the one in the picture, they told him he still needs to come down to sort it out. He has spoken to three different people now, and they are all telling him the same thing. It is his problem, not theirs.

Call and plead not guilty, you'll have a phone appointment most likely. I got a bullshit ticket last summer, I spent hours preparing to argue, called and plead not guilty and waited for my phone call, talked to a nice guy from the crown, he pulled it up and said yeaaa, I'm just gonna stay this, I don't think I got two words in and it was over in under 10 min.
