Cops don't give parking tickets in Providence, there are separate parking enforcement jobs for people to go around ticketing.

From 2am to 5 am? I'm pretty sure the overnight parking tickets are given by cops.

Nope / it’s cops. That’s why they won’t ticket unless there’s a complaint (vs regular walking the beat meter maids).

Parking enforcement is out every night, specifically looking for people parked on the street. The cops rarely if ever are ticketing parked cars.

But they won’t ticket unless you call the providence police number. This is direct quote from the providence police supervisor - unless you call PPD between 1-5am - no one is going to ticket a car. They aren’t driving around all night looking for ticketing oops. It’s purely a dispatched only situation.

Thats an entirely fabricated story. I have lived here long enough to know exactly when parking enforcement is going to hit certain streets. They don't need to be called, and its hilarious you believe the cops when they tell you "blame your neighbors".

Oh puleeze. I’ve had a conversation with the police - on the phone - personally so I’m quoting. And yes I’ve lived here long enough too. You don’t want to believe me call the non emergency number right now and say hey / my neighbor is parking outside my house and it’s a no overnight zone can you give them a ticket? And see what they say. It’s ok we’ll wait…….

You don't need to call for them to ticket. They drive around at night, the parking enforcement has a night shift. Why would they ticket "overnight" cars during the day? You ticket between 2-5, the same time they have for over a decade. No calls need to be made, they will drive through neighborhoods and ticket as desired.

And as we all know, the police are always entirely honest.

Lol blocked because they know Im right. Go figure.

I’m not talking about daytime parking. Overnight parking / go ahead. Call PVD. If there was ticketing just happening, the 3-5 cars that park on our no overnight street would get ticketed at least semi regularly. They don’t. Still waiting for you to call the Pd tho…. I mean they are basically saying they can’t be bothered enforcing the law why would they lie about that? It makes the street residents happy because the no overnight rule is stupid anyway.
