I would check that an offence has actually been committed though.  Without 
any other lines or signs, the white parking lines do not mean anything 
legally.  Ask them to tell you exactly which law you were breaking, AFAIK 
there is no law that says "you must not park outside marked parking spaces". 
Usually where I've seen marked spaces, the rest of the road has double 
reds/yellows or at least a sign that says similar.
