I have gotten tickets before and put them other cars wiper blades, so they would think it was for them and pay it.

Or if I'm arriving and the car next to me has a ticket. I'll grab their ticket and put it on my car, so the meeter maid, thinks I already got ticketed.

It's definitely my car. Of course, when they ticket they look at and write down the vin and plate.

But they clearly did NOT write it down when they supposedly checked it. Now I have the resources to bring down that cabal.

But how?

You're quite the scumbag.

If it is limit and I suspect it is, just contest it and bring your fastrak statement, highlight it and you will win. Hell, I'll mail the fastrak payment (highlight it) along with the appeals letter with the citation #.

There is nothing to "escalate" A meter maid checks as much as 500-1000 cars in the two hours route and it can very well be an honest mistake.

Yeah. O/T parking.

But (I'm no stranger to their ways, either) how can it be an honest mistake, when they are claiming to have marked the vehicle as being there in the first place?

How do they "honestly" mark a vehicle as there when it is not? Aren't these policies firm?

I really don't care about the $72, but I do think they should be held accountable for betraying their trust. What if it were a poor person scammed like this?

If a guy who has this many data points can't bring justice, who can?

I'm calling 7 on your side, or Stanley Roberts!

Oh, and a co-worker just had the same issue with the same officer.

I dunno what to say. Instead of trying move the car every two hours, gulp, pay $15-$25 to park (non-covered).

It's $20!! :) And I hear ya, but that's the thing. I wasn't here when they said I was, so it's unpossible!

I can pay it and forget it, but it seems like rewarding incompetence at the least, or criminal behavior at worst. I wonder how many on the street shrug it off?

Should I let it go unchallenged? If not me, who? If not now, when?!?!?!
