Not because I've parked in the middle of the street at the Oregon district .... I got a $35.00 parking ticket today on the street in front of Hauer Music, meter ran out and they nailed me to cross Edited December 6, 2012 by Limenine9r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anden Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I think if you pay right away they cut a break. Or maybe the ticket gets real expensive if you don't pay till later. Nice pics btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limenine9r Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Thanks - and yes, if I can get it paid by Friday it's only $20.... Brilliant way to attract people to downtown, use antique parking meters - vending machines accept $1/$5 bills yet the great run down city wonders why they can't attract people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollnhot Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Got to wonder how many real crimes went down within six blocks of your crime spree. I'll bet more than $20 worth of crack got sold on that cops beat while he wrote your ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFlash Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Some of the clocks / timers inside of those parking meters are faulty and not properly calibrated to run at the correct speed. If they run fast, you don't get the time you paid for. I've seen this before. It's another way for them to get into your pocket if you get a ticket or have to feed the meter another coin.

jbot Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Not sure I'd call $20 or $35 being nailed to a cross all emo Jesus style, but nice pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I like the christmas tree pic the best The cop could have followed you around and fined you $20 for each place you stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limenine9r Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Ok I'm exaggerating, but geeze - upgrade meters to vending machine standards so a guy can shred dollar bills ....sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaposer Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Not sure I'd call $20 or $35 being nailed to a cross all emo Jesus style, but nice pics.No kidding. Now the $105 photo speeding ticket I got for 26 in a 25, but they call it 20 because they leave the school zone lights flashing all day instead of turning them off when not needed, that is pushing ass fucking territory.

Was $35 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think the meter maid waited - then pounced upon its victim. I live in Clayton, just beyond the Parking enforment officers in Englewood. Yet you have to almost use GPS to enter Kroger due to all the increpidt lazy POS who block entry . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 . Yeah I think the meter maid waited There's enough illegal parking going on that they'd get many more tickets from walking around than waiting for one person to mess up.
