$835 Parking Ticket...

Did the deeds, now do the time. I guess people over there park on the grass regularly.

Nothing like having a Bugatti Veyron taken away for you though.

Surely there should be some recourse for it not being his vehicle...?

More places should have fines like this for people who blatantly ignore the rules and think they can do whatever they feel like. If she loses, which she should, I bet she won't do it again, and that's the point. If the fine doesn't deter someone from doing something, it isn't high enough. Watch the video, they show the area she parked. Anyone with even half a brain could tell that area was not intended for parking, and those trees wouldn't have provided any useful shade anyway.

Who cares if it's about the money or not? If cities can make money off of self-important jackasses like this women, I am all for it.

Have to agree with this.

She parked on the fucking grass. Moron. She should have had her car towed!

So have a tow-truck chew up the grass, after it's already been damaged by illegally parked vehicles?

The whole point of the penalty is so people don't trash the grass.

I was coming into the thread thinking this was in a place like San Francisco or Chicago. Did not expect it to be Iowa. $800 does seem absurd, but she drives an $80,000 new Escalade so I'm sure she won't have a problem paying up.

ah chicago

get a parking ticket thats bs? get it thrown out! then get a $150 fee for 'court costs' of getting the $75 ticket thrown out because it was bogus!

I thought if one won their case they didn't have to pay the court cost?. Anyway, people are lazy and don't give a fuck should face a fine but $750 is WAY over the top, at least put up several signs stating "do not park on grass, $750 fine", then fair warning would be given. Girl in question may be able to afford that fine but for another that might put them in a serious bind.

I am glad she got the ticket. There were open spots to park in. Don't be a dumb bitch and park in the grass. The parking lot is there for a reason.
