See what happens when the meter maid is bored?
I’ve also wondered what I might do had I been a meter maid with no motivation to look for actual illegally parked vehicles.
A traffic-enforcement agent was busted yesterday for plastering bogus tickets on cars that had been parked legally, police said.
Officials would not give a motive, but a source said cops were looking into the possibility that she did it because it was easier than going out to look for illegally parked cars where she was assigned.
“[...] because it was easier than going out to look for illegaly parked cars” sounds like the exact excuse I would use.

This is exactly the kind of sh*t that get me pissed off. Tickets aren’t exactly cheap in NYC.
same in the bay area
Or anywhere for that matter – $50/violation in Dallas, per the last ticket I received.
you should try forking out $120 AUD for a parking fine! some local goverments in Australia will charge you anything from $60AUD to $120AUD for a parking fine. How’s them apples. *bitter*
