The key is allow vs do they ticket. It’s clearly illegal, but people are rarely ticketed so they keep doing it.

Best way to deter crime, raise the likelihood of getting caught. This Jersey dickhead isn't going to change their ways if there's a 1 in 100 chance of a $500 ticket, but they will if there's a 2 in 3 chance for a $50 dollar ticket this wouldn't be a problem.

It's funny how this type of stuff isn't ticketed, but my license plate was off by 1 number in the parkmobile app and I got a parking ticket in less than an hour.

That doesn’t require a person to do a job besides the one who coded the app.

The issue is that a lot of the trades workers that roll into the city with work trucks don't have to pay the tickets, and their company just sees tickets as a minor expense of doing business in the city that is billed to the client. These types of vehicles need either like $2k+ parking tickets or an immediate tow, some kind of significant punishment that would actually cause the companies to tell employees not to illegally park

I had a plumber come through for some work and saw he parked illegally. Asked if he needed to move his van and he said exactly what you did: he just pays the ticket.
