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."
Fees for my services are quite high at $10,000 / baby, but what value can you put on having your perfect designer family ? If your baby is born of the 'wrong' sex, I will not only refund the entire $10,000, but will give you an extra $5,000 by way of compensation. It's win-win, I tell you !
Now, where's my first customer ?
(Thanks to Richard Dawkins for putting me onto this wonderful line of business.)
Squirrel!
Or you can not be an asshole, and not park in the handicapped spot in the first place.
Or you could not be an asshole by making hasty assumptions. A store could have been renovated and the entrance moved, yet the signs remain in the old locations. Or you could be shopping at three in the morning in a grocery store devoid of other customers and given an invalid ticket for xyz reason. At least in Michigan, you'd have plenty of ways to appeal the citation.
