FU Denver... How does this ticket work?

[Ronin13]

So today I worked a 12 hr shift over at the Filmore, and for those unaware, the entire surrounding area in vicinity around Colfax just east of Downtown has street parking from 8AM-6PM limited to 2 hours. Due to me working at the venue and parking pretty much non-existent in that area, I had to park on the street and get a street parking permit from my boss. No problem. All set, and should have been an easy day at work. Wrong. Go out to my car around 3 this afternoon and this is what I see:

The dreaded yellow City and County of Denver Parking Violation envelope. Effing really? I took this picture so I can go contest it. Even if it gets tossed that's still a drive down to the Wellington Webb building, paying for parking, and then spending who knows how long to get them to throw it out... if they do. If they don't I have to pay the fascist Parking Violations Bureau? Or refuse and risk getting booted next time I'm at work... Is there a way to get in touch with someone and complain about the absolutely blind parking enforcement a-hole?

Who issued the street parking permit? Why should the city of Denver honor that permit?

Just curious. I have no dog in that fight. I've gotten my fair share of parked 15 minutes after the meter expired tickets in Denver.

If you look at the picture it states at the top it's from the City and County of Denver. My guess is that they give Argus the permits for employee parking... otherwise, if I can't legally park then how can I get to work?

RTD?

Brownies, or ticket writers generally don't care about anything other than the status of the meter. I've found this to be true in most cities.

Light rail.

I passed up working for the CBI just because it was located in down town Denver. I picked a job for less money.

It wasn't at a meter though, it was street side, so the snake in the grass had to scope out the parking, which they did a mere minute or so after I parked, and then issued the ticket after my 2 hrs had expired... however, in that two hours I placed the parking permit on my dash.

Wasn't this scenario covered in the academy?

Yeah, beat, taze and then OC the parking enforcement guy for impersonating an individual with real authority...
