not colored curb and no stopping sign

State of California, City of San Jose.

I contested the citation because the car was regularly parked (at least from my point of view) in a zone where the curb was not colored between the red curb and yellow curb.

Look at the pictures at :

Sorry for the links (REPLACE H**P with HTTP).
You can zoom clicking on them.

There were 2 "No stopping" signs. One was AFTER my car. The other was before my car, before the end of the red curb, before the bust station and before the fire hydrant.

So why did I get a ticket?
- I can think that they interpret that the NO stopping sign is still valid even if the curb is not painted.
In this case why to paint only the first part of the curb?
It looks like they did that so people can be tricked.
- I have just noticed in the last picture that there are some holes on the wall with some red tags... I didn't notice them. Could it been the problem?

I received a response with the result "initial review and notice of illegal parking" saying "A field investigation of the location where the parking ticket was issued has been conducted. It confirmed that the proper signs and/or markings for the violation cited are present".

For me it is unfair.
I can request a hearing. But what could I say?

Best,
Chris

I see you've tried pepipoo, too. You need a US-based site, I'm afraid.
