00:03Mamo Tuker
00:05Morning sir, you are charged with
00:07Parking overnight
00:10Ya, first of all I am sorry for my English
00:14On Hope Street
00:16I am learning English
00:19If I say something wrong, I am sorry for this
00:22You can't say anything wrong here
00:23Okay
00:24Where are you from?
00:25Turkey
00:26How long you been here?
00:28Ten months here
00:29You're doing pretty good.
00:31Thank you very much.
00:32What do you do? Are you a student?
00:34I am a student in Brown University.
00:36And I am working in labs.
00:39And today, the first time,
00:42I parked my car in 3 o'clock.
00:46And after one and a half hour,
00:49when I come near my car,
00:53I found a violation parking ticket.
00:56And there is no sign about no parking here.
01:00Because this is not overnight.
01:02I want to just study in lab two hours.
01:06And there is no sign about no parking
01:10or no overnight parking.
01:12Okay.
01:13Have you ever been in a court in Turkey?
01:16No, first time.
01:18First time in court.
01:19First time in my life.
01:21And I am very excited about it.
01:23Well, we hope we give you a favorable impression
01:25of the United States judicial system.
01:27Okay.
01:28All right.
01:29So, let me explain to you what the situation is.
01:32Okay.
01:33Everything you said is accurate.
01:36Everything.
01:37You said it.
01:38There are no signs that say you cannot park overnight.
01:41Right?
01:42And plus, to complicate matters more,
01:45there's a sign saying you can park during certain hours.
01:49And you were not parked during those certain hours.
01:52So, in your mind, I can park here.
01:54Yeah.
01:55Which makes sense to me.
01:56Except that the city has a set of ordinances.
02:06These are the city laws.
02:08And in here it says you cannot park overnight in Providence.
02:13So, before you came from Turkey, you were supposed to read this book.
02:17Read all of them.
02:18Okay.
02:19I have just two months here.
02:21So, it's a very confusing thing.
02:27People in Providence know they can't.
02:29But, I don't think it's fair for us to charge you for parking overnight.
02:33Number one, you didn't know.
02:34Number two, the sign was very misleading.
02:36So, that's a short version of saying that you won your case.
02:41So, when you get back to Turkey, you can say,
02:43I was in the United States, and I received the summons to go to court,
02:46and I fought the system, and I won.
02:50Am I won now?
02:51You won.
02:52Oh, thank you very much.
02:56Thank you.
02:57Good luck to you.
02:58The matter is dismissed.
02:59You did a wonderful job.
03:01Thank you very much.
03:02Thank you again.
03:06Thank you.
