    This is absolutely true, and it’s not limited to parking tickets. I was getting groceries and I was asked to pay. I knew this was just a trick to get me to enter contract, so I denied the contract (yes, I signed at a 45.0 degree angle) and left with my groceries for free.

    The police did unlawfully arrest me though, so I am seeking a civil rights lawyer.

      This guy is a liar, don’t believe him. I was the cashier and I can tell you that he signed at a 44.3° angle (we’re required to keep a protractor at every register for this exact reason), the peace officer was right to arrest him.
