Parking in NY

I got a stupid parking ticket in the mail from New York. I never got the parking ticket on my car, but they sent it to my house and fined me $10 for not paying it on time. I didn't even know that I had gotten a parking ticket!!!!!!!!! Not only that, but it was for parking at a meter on Broadway at 8:50 PM. How late do the meters run on Broadway? Do they really run that late? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Anyway, if I don't want to pay the $10 fine, I have to have a hearing, which I can do online or by mail instead of in person, which I'm going to try to do. And if I can get out of the whole ticket, that would be just fine with me, too. But if I really was in the wrong, I guess I'll pay the $65 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I know I'm not paying them $75, though. It's fucking highway robbery.
