Once, I parked on an open parking block near my office one morning. During the course of the morning, the city crew put up "Two Hour Parking" signs and a cop came along and put a ticket on my car. That one was easily thrown out.
Another time I got a two hour parking ticket when I had witnesses who had seen me drive down the street and hour and 10 minutes earlier. I had to argue a bit over that one. BTW, our local police chief at the time was called "Barney" by everyone in town. He even looked like Don Knotts.
Funniest one was a couple years ago I got a written warning for speeding. The Deputy Sergeant who wrote the ticket had a hard time keeping a straight face through it all. Then when I got home, my wife was standing in the kitchen laughing at me. She'd heard the whole thing on her police scanner.
A couple of weeks later, I happened to sit at a table with our local County Sheriff at a graduation party, or something. (I've known him for years). I couldn't resist telling him about my ticket. I wasn't complaining, I just thought he'd get a kick out of it, and he did.
The Sheriff then told me a couple years before that, he was in plain clothes driving his personal car and got stopped for speeding by a local cop in a nearby town, still within the county. When the cop realized who he had, he went all the way with it, background check, ran the VIN on the car, and the whole works. While this was going on, all the Deputies were listening to it on the radio. Joe said it was two weeks before he got all the Deputies to shut up and quit giving him a hard time about it.
