Due to a number of awful experiences with traffic cops who have given me several undeserved parking tickets, I have been forced to use my cell phone to take photos like the ones below, in order to ensure that I have evidence in case the department finds a way to fine me when I am in no way breaking the law! Both are pictures of my car at broken parking meters with the word FAIL clearly visible. It's quite sad that I feel so defensive in my own city and quite silly that I have had to resort to keeping "proof" on my phone. We taxpaying drivers need a break!
NYC Traffic Enforcement is a force that will probably never let up, but they're a pet peeve that I'll definitely never get used to.
lol I love that you resorted to taking pictures of the meter! Thats hysterical! As a NY native, I understand how frustrating the parking situation can be so hang in there!
