Got a ticket for parking at a charger with my EV. I didn't plug in right away because the circuit electrique app showed the charger as unavailable.

I walked over to go check in for my haircut appointment, they said it was about a 10 min wait, so i checked the app and the charger came back online. So I ran back to the car and plugged in then went back.

After my haircut I got into my car and saw the ticket. The officer was there in the few minutes between me parking and running back.

Technically, yes. I was parked without charging. But I couldn't charge quite yet when I arrived. And I do have the receipt for the charge after the charger came back online.

Should I bother pleading not guilty or should I just pay the 160$
