There is some compelling evidence that drivers don't deserve them -- the high overturn rate in adjudication.

Sure, but it's equally likely that the city simply errs on the side of dismissing any ticket that's challenged. That would be the case if defending them was costly.

People are extremely likely to challenge a ticket if they know there's a 50-50 chance of it being dismissed. Especially if the adjudication process is painless and free (as the new online process is).
