parking permit question

[leko.livejournal.com]

My girlfriend got a $50 ticket because her parking sticker was "taped to the window."

Actually, the sticker was kinda static-stuck to the window. After having a hell of a time removing the old sticker, and because this one was only going to be on her car for a month anyway (we switched zones, so had to buy a permit that would expire in 1 or 2 months, which is a whole separate gripe), she stuck it to a clear plastic film and then static stuck that to her windshield. It had been fine for a few weeks, but I guess has started to come off a bit so it looks like it's taped on.

So she got a ticket, which didn't really surprise me, but she wants to appeal it, because she hasn't been able to find anything on the parking office's website saying the sticker needed to be stuck directly to the windshield and not taped there. Does anyone have a link to relevant city laws?

Don't stickers have the license plate number marked on them?

They have the license plate written on them in sharpie.

They do, but you can transfer an existing registration to another car, which would let you keep the same plate number but have a different car. The parking permit is not valid on a different car, even with the same registration.
