Use Your iPhone To Get Out of a Ticket
An anonymous reader writes to tell us that Parkingticket.com just announced new compatibility with the Safari web browser on Apple's iPhone, giving you new tools to immediately contest a parking ticket. The site is so confident in their service that if all steps are followed and the ticket is still not dismissed they will pay $10 towards your ticket. "The process begins by navigating the iPhone's Safari browser to the Parkingticket.com website where you'll find a straightforward means to fight a parking ticket; whether the ticket was issued in New York City, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia or Washington, D.C. Simply register for a free account and choose the city in which the ticket was issued. Enter your ticket and vehicle details then answer a few quick questions. The detailed process takes about ten minutes, from A-Z. To allow easy entry of your ticket, a look-a-like parking ticket is displayed — for your specific city — with interactive functionality."
I think the iPhone just became a positive ROI for many people in these areas.
Will its wonders never cease!
Will we see this on A&E parking wars?
With Steve Jobs' magic, of course!
With a caramel Frappucino in one hand, and an iPhone in the other, the elite of the major metropolitan areas can not be stopped!
Gasp, you mean like lawyers do?
Yes... it is exactly like that. Parkingticket.com has been operating for 7 years, is still in business, and releasing new products. And govworks.com was in existence for only 3 years, never really got off the ground and crashed and burned before parkingticket.com even existed. So, yes, they are very eerily similar.

I thought there is nothing free in this world especially the USA
There's plenty free. Air is free, and it's a lot cleaner air than when I was growing up (although cleaning up the mess industry made cost us taxpayers a bundle, and few corporations pay any US Federal Income Tax).
Rainwater waters your gardens for free.
Sunrises and sunsets are free.
You can often get condoms for free. The free ones are generally better than ones you buy from bars' rest rooms, the last one I bought at Farley's was out of date.
Heat is free in the summertime, and air conditioning is free in the winter.
The corporations all get free rides from the Federal Government.
You never heard "the best things in life are free?" It's true. You can't buy true friends.
Whoever said money doesn't grow on trees never owned an orchard!

In my old apartment in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of DC, there was a sign that said you could not park beyond that sign. If you assumed that you could park on the OTHER side of the sign, you would be wrong. The other side of the sign was a cross walk.
Half a block from that spot, there is another sign indicating where you can and cannot park. If you park where the sign indicates it is legal, you will get a ticket for parking too close to a fire hydrant. My friend took photos showing that the sign itself was 9 feet from the hydrant. He went to court in person. The judge said it doesn't matter where the sign is, the law says you have to be 10 feet from the hydrant.
The Washington Post has a column called Dr. Gridlock. I recall a few years back where they ran stories of tickets in DC. One person got a ticket for parking at an expired meter. He appealed by mail (which you can't even do anymore) and included a photograph showing that there were, in fact, no parking meters on the street where he was parked. His appeal was denied.
-- Don't Tase me, bro!
So exactly how often do you get pulled over and issued a parking ticket?
Don't think of it as a flame---it's more like an argument that does 3d6 fire damage
You can't buy true friends.
My true friend is a RealDoll, you insensitive clod !

"Use Your web browser and camera To Get Out of A Ticket"
There.
The so-called news here is that they finally got their site to work on iPhone's Safari.

You don't really want to tax corporations much.
You need to tax the employee's.
If the corporation leaves, then all the popel it would employee have no money, and you generate no tax revenue.
we've seen this plenty of times.
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
Not quite understanding the purpose behind this application. After all, the perpetrator who illegally parked their car is admitting quilt, just that they want to pay less to the government. This is what is wrong with this country in the first place. Folks are too selfish as it is, don't they realize the benefit that comes from transferring their money to the government? It is proven that that money spent by the government returns more value to society then any other type of potential spending. The sooner we all buck up and pay government it's fair share -- the sooner the economy will pick up, providing benefit to all folks in the most equitable manner possible.
he lets them off easy. someone did that to a friend of mine, when he got home from work (construction) and there was a random Caddy parked in his driveway. he dragged their car into the middle of the street, left it in a lane of traffic, parked his truck legally in his driveway, and then called the cops. cracked a beer and watched the car get towed in 10 minutes.
Embarrassing story ahead:
One night I was visiting my girlfriend at her dorm, and was just going to hang out for like 30 minutes and then head to a movie or dinner.
I parked in the closest spot I could find, which was actually really, really close. The sign said Resident's Parking Only.
When we came back out I had a ticket for $50, and was like "WTF?" because I had even parked her car so she had all the right stickers.
Turns out, the sign said President's Parking Only. Failure.
