So, aparently you can't park near a crosswalk, even though you aren't in it, you aren't on yellow curb, and the crosswalk isn't marked. I got a parking ticket for it, but the make of the car listed is wrong. They got the color and licence correct though.
It's only eight dollars, so I won't want to be spending much time on it, but I'm still wondering.

You can't get out of it based on an incorrect make. Pay the 8 bucks and don't park there again.

If they have the license, they have you.

But they made up the offense. Yes, if you have the time, fight it. If not, like you said, its only $8.

Isn't there a specific distance that you have to maintain when parking near a crosswalk?

How much do you value your time? Is it worth 8 bucks to go through all the trouble of fighting it?

Yep.

Tickets here run about 40- 50 bucks. Those, i'll fight. I'm not taking a day off work for an eight dollar ticket...especially since it'll probably cost me more than 8 bucks to park, to fight the ticket.

Oh, the irony.
