<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Dearest reddit,

I'm a LA resident, and I got a handwritten parking ticket for the every Monday and Tuesday No Parking due to street sweeping from 8-10am they have on one side of the street.  Meter maids sit and wait until 8 comes around and then they ticket the shit out of every sucker that forgot.  So I got this handwritten ticket, then in the mail comes a "NOTICE OF DELINQUENT PARKING VIOLATION."  The word "NOTICE" makes me question that I actually have to pay this thing.  

It's funny, the citizens of LA have been so raped by bullshit tickets that they have started fighting back.  By ignoring the threatening letters in the mail, that aren't actually enforceable citations, they've made Photographed Red-Light Tickets [irrelevant]   Now I'm reading [this] and he seems to make a lot of great points that seem relevant to my "NOTICE" or "VIOLATION"

Nothing I've got here is a citation number.  It's a ticket number.  That makes me think it's some police BS and wording to try to get you to pay something I'm not legally obligated to.  

Tell me if I'm crazy, no record except for the handwritten "PARKING VIOLATION" paper, that has a "VIOLATION" circled that the meter maid took with him.  Obviously it went into the system, cause I've got this notice in the mail.  But it's a notice, not a citation. 

Is there any legal ground I can stand on by refusing to pay this "violation?"  As far as I understand, a violation is an action, what has been done.  Then a citation is something that actually requires you to take action.

Do I have enough standing as a citizen to say, "Hey, I never got a citation, so I don't have to pay this "notice?"  or should I take the steps listed [in the above link] and acknowledge the "NOTICE" but not send them any money, and continue to do so.
<bot>: Got a "NOTICE OF VIOLATION" not a Citation, does this mean that it's not actually a legally binding ticket?
