True. But the boot usually happens when you are parked in a perfectly good spot legally. Back to the three ticket issue again I guess,

“Obamacare is no different than parking laws?”

.
Obamacare is more massive, but otherwise similar in kind to using parking fines as a source of revenue.

Parking meters are supposed to be used to prevent long term parking in commercial zones.

Someone forced you to park illegally?

Parking citations should only be issued in cases of where public safety is actually endangered and not be used as a means of revenue.

I freely admit that VERY niave about parking. I have not ever had problems with parking. One parking ticket a few years ago in a town I seldom go to for misreading the parking rules sign. I promptly paid it. It would not have crossed my mind to not pay it and deal with whatever consequences eventually found me.

Otherwise, I never pay for parking or have trouble finding a free space.

I know that you have to be more intelligent than the posts you are making.

The primary objection to ObamaCare has been that it’s mandatory and unavoidable. There’s no choice.

Completely unlike parking tickets.

In my county they have meters at the courthouse where a person must go to pay taxes, get permits, license plates, etc. IMO it is wrong to charge for parking at such venues. I’m reasonably certain they would charge an admission fee to the building itself if they thought they could get by with it. LOL

Never been stuck in a meeting or anything like that huh?

Parking fines are just like Ocare on a smaller scale.

Awful. Pam Byrnes supported this of course. I’m shocked Brater didn’t vote for this mess.

I have ZERO tolerance for ignoring the rule of law.

I'm sure you break the law every day and not even know it.

As the left says —the problem is too big, the system is broken —too many illegal parkists! We need parking reform -why not grant amnesty?

I suppose I have to concede that point.
