Got a NYPD ticket at JFK for stopping for a minute. Is it worth fighting?
I was dropping off up family at JFK today and ended up getting a ticket for briefly stopping on the side of the road. Our flight had been delayed and rescheduled, so I pulled over for a minute to check my phone. There were 3 cars in front of me that were also stopped, so I assumed it was some kind of waiting area or cell phone lot. An NYPD officer pulled up behind me and asked if it was an emergency. I explained that we were waiting for our flight and checking the updated information. He pointed to a sign saying stopping was only allowed for emergencies and gave me a summons for 'Not Obeying Signs.'
