Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Give Me a Ticket!

I put this together last summer one day while feeling a little sympathy for what it must be like to be a ticket writer in this town. And with the latest debate over parking placards, I thought it was relevant to post.

Basically, while I walked around one afternoon with my camera, I looked to see what visual cues drivers leave to evoke sympathy to avoid tickets. I realize some of my on-screen text quotes may be a bit of aggrandizement, but I think you'll get the point.

    The construction worker illegaly
    parked was subject to a very large
    fine under NYC Rules/Regulations...
    This is what happens when the General Contractor does not fully inform the subcontractors about NYC
    Parking Laws. Workers are sometimes
    DELUSIONAL in their rationale about
    bringing their cars into the city while mass transit is available...
    More ENFORCEMENT is required. The
    faults are with the general contractor/city!
