Hah! Yeah if you read the post at all you'd realize I do park legally. Thanks for being a kind stranger when I needed advice.

You just admitted to having three parking tickets because you were over the time limit.

“Why am I penalized for breaking the rules; I only broke them a little?”

Alternatively, the meter maids in Cambridge could chill. I've gotten parking tickets for not having a resident permit on the block I live which they put on the windshield in FRONT of my resident permit and still had an appeal denied.

Cambridge parking enforcement is just a shakedown. These meter maids are useless

It's really dependent on your neighborhood. My neighbor has been parking without a permit going on 5 years now. In all that time he's only gotten 2 tickets. He can't get a permit because it's a company-owned car.

My roommates car broke down in Riverside with NY plates and was left parked for 7 months through the winter without a single ticket. Not one lol.

Yeah, we should defund them so people could leave their cars for free on the streets forever!

That would solve this problem!

If you park at meters near the previous meter you parked at that day, you are parking illegally for the whole time you are there, whatever the meter says.
