[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parking enforcement is something like 1/5 of the city's income.  They are tenacious and predatory.  Never ever park illegally.

I was once ticketed near Glover Park at 1 AM in the morning for "parking too close to a corner."

Yep - the meter maids are even out at 1 AM trying to make a buck for the city.

Never contest tickets - they will conveniently "lose" your appeal.  Or they will just deny it.

Then they send it to collections.  A private collection agency.

They will ruin your credit if you don't pay (and it will be double the original ticket price by then).[/quote]

I've actually contested tickets and had them thrown out. One because the sign was missing and another with proof that I'd paid through Parkmobile. I also challenged a speeding ticket because the photo they mailed to me wasn't my car - someone had altered their license plate to my number. It's a time suck gathering all the evidence and mailing it in, but it can be done.

But yeah, I have sometimes felt that enforcement officers are just waiting in the bushes. [/quote]
