Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
For those saying this is a case of "Ignorance of the law is no excuse"... umm, can you read? I stated (and even put up a pic) I had a City of Denver issued parking permit for negating the 2 hour limit on street parking. So yeah, I was following the law, I am not the one to blame in this case as this was an erroneous ticket. So don't be dumb.

There is nothing worse than a Denver Meter Maid. I make sure they get a big ole bird every time I see one.

Sorry Jim, that one and "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" are two that peg my BS meter, nothing personal.
Agree HBAR, they have you by the short & curlies and most folks don't even know it. Or worse know it and think it's okay like the prison guard union lobbying against pot legalization.
It may be cheaper (time spent waiting at traffic court) to pay the fine. It looks like it was raining when the meter Nazi wrote the citation, probably did not get out to look before writing. You might be able to scan the permit and send a copy to the referee.
BOulder parking enforcement is far worse than Denver.
Boulder has a campus parking ticket people and City of Boulder parking ticket people. Expired meter Parking ticket during mid-late 90s were about $15. However, even 1-2minutes late, we get them. I've seen a city of Boulder parking guy (again, during late 90s) who ticketed a vehicle with 2 minutes remaining on the meter.
UPDATE: looked into the matter, sent an email to the parking violations bureau and they'll send me something in the mail once they decide. Hoping they just throw it out. It's a matter of principle, dammit!

You should start working on that personality flaw now before you get sworn.
It is a very gray world out there and after 25+ years it gets harder to even see the light gray any more.
Be safe.
You guys are complaining about 10-15 minutes after your meter expires and getting a ticket???
I've had two this year alone that were 2 minutes after the meter expired. In fact, one of those I put money in my meter and the guy rolled up and shoved it in my door as I was putting the money in (was after 10 PM so the 2 hour rule didn't apply). I wouldn't be surprised if they have some sort of notification system when a meter goes red.
I've had 5 parking tickets since 1/1/14.
