Probably filter through a ton of one-time offenders and either automating it or someone just select all and appeal. When I got a ticket for being in the carpool hour of the express lane but not having an express box thing I wrote to appeal since we were carpooling. The response was approved but noting that only the first offense is appealed and further violations won’t be. Sucks for the people that never appealed it because they would have gotten off, its a racket
I went to the ER the other day. I drove myself to the hospital, parked at the short-term parking lot right next to the ER (I was trying to make a beeline there, I really wasn’t concerned about where I parked). I expected to out within 2 or 3 hours but the hospital ended up keeping me for a week.
When I came out, I expected my car to be impounded, or at least covered in parking tickets. But no: there was only one with a warning and nothing to pay.
When I checked the case number on the city’s parking fine webpage, the comment indicated “Driver reported hospitalized - fine waived.”
They actually checked with the hospital. Nice!
see that’s society actually functioning.
Yes, nothing like coming out of a rough week alone in isolation in a hospital room, with friends and family not allowed to enter the room, and finding out the system sometimes makes small allowances for kindness and common sense. It sure felt great.
Small things like that give me back hope in humanity. Too bad they’re few and far between.
Glad you’re doing well!
This you?
If it is, it’s surprising they dismissed it instead of adding more charges, to be honest.
They know better than messing with a friend of the geese

Was waiting in line to contest a ticket for dismal at one of the tiny micro-cities inside Houston. Kid you not, it was just a bunch of white folks walking out no-contest and another line of AAs getting filed up to actually try their cases.
I’m sure this was a coincidence. Also, the sheriff looking interchangeable with the Sheriff Rosco from Dukes of Hazzard, a pure coincidence.
That might be true. But it’s important to note that we want the world to be more kind to everyone, and not universally unforgiving.
Yeah this looks like a written appeal so not sure what race has to do with it. Also this is a parking fine, not a moving violation, which it sounds like you’re describing
If the appeal has a name on it then there could still be bias. Somewhat related: I heard job applications still got biased reviews with names redacted because the contents were culturally specific enough.
My Daisy Duke shorts always get me a pass, even when I don’t get around to trim around the hedges.
Them Duke boys are at eet again! Subjugating minorities with a thin veil of fair ground.
“Upon further review, you are a goose and geese don’t drive.”
I’ve done something similar. I wrote that it was xmas and i don’t have any money. It worked.
