(Am I in a U.S. jurisdiction?)

Yes, unless you're on the NAFTA highway.

True story (conversation approximated)--a couple winters ago, I went to Traffic Court to challenge a ticket and the assorted fees when my car was towed to car jail.

1rudeboy: "Your Honor, I'd like to see this case dismissed and a refund issued because the City can't decide what ordinance was violated, or even whether a violation actually occurred. Frankly, I see no good reason why I'm standing here."
judge [looking to other side]: "Mr. Smith?"
Smith [attorney for the City]: "Your Honor, defendant's car was towed because it was parked illegally."
judge: "Are you disputing the truth of the defendant's statement?"
Smith: "No, your Honor, I just need more time to look . . . ."
judge: "Dismissed. Send the check. Next."
