Due Process - Inadequate Notice (Wyoming Constitution Article 1)
Wyoming Constitution Article 1 §6 (due process) and §32 (excessive penalties) plus the federal Fourteenth Amendment require adequate notice and proportionate fines. Tickets blown off windshields by Wyoming wind, electronic notices sent to wrong addresses, or first-notice-as-registration-hold scenarios fail due process. Wyoming has some of the highest sustained winds in the U.S., making windshield citation failure particularly common.
Legal basis
U.S. Const. Amend. XIV; Wyoming Const. Art. 1 §6, §32; Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank
Sample appeal wording
TO: [CITY] RE: Citation #[NUMBER] - Due Process Challenge Under Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank, 339 U.S. 306 (1950), and Wyoming Const. Art. 1 §6, due process requires notice reasonably calculated to actually inform the cited party. I never received the original citation - first notice came via [REGISTRATION HOLD / COLLECTIONS]. By that time, my contest opportunity was foreclosed. Note: Wyoming's high winds (particularly along I-80 and southeastern WY) routinely blow citations off windshields, making such notice inherently unreliable. I request dismissal of underlying citation, removal of late fees, and removal of any holds. [NAME] [DATE]
Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
