Today, I found a parking citation from my college on my car windshield. It read PERMIT CITATION at the top. It confused me, as I had bought a parking permit 2 or 3 weeks before so that I wouldn't get a ticket. Turns out I got fined because the permit was on the wrong side of the windshield. FML

Well, the worst part of it was what I saw when I was driving on the way back to my dorm. Somebody driving past with the sticker in the same place mine was. It just pisses me off. Like the guy with the Mustang I see every day. He can't ever get a real parking spot, so he's always parked in the Service Vehicles spot. I never see a ticket on his windshield. This is at NAU, btw. Yes, they are fucktards about this shit.

I don't know why, but that seems sorta typical in todays societies... If you ever see the person who gave you the ticket, take your keys and shove it up his/her @$$ and say "Oops! Wrong side!"

You should find the officer who did this to you and if his car is slightly asymmetrical you should put a bunch of tickets on his cruiser that say "How do you like it?"

Im a parking cop at my university, and regrettably i have to hand out tickets for those reasons as well. i use to write warnings but after my first 50, my boss got pissed. i dont know the logic in arizona but in the upper peninsula of michigan where it snows for 9 months out of the year we write them because when the windshield is full of snow we dont need to clear the entire windshield looking for the pass. you may be able to get the voided if you show that you have moved it to the correct spot

We just have a permit that hangs from our rear view mirror. I don't really know how they know who does and doesn't have a permit when there is snow everywhere...

well i wont get technically, but i have a computer that is linked to the campus and it tells us everything about the car just by the license plate. but the thing is that i clear off two spots on the windshield. the rear view mirror and the passenger lower portion where the passes should be. because we hand out two types, a sticker and a hanger.

wow i just have mine sit on the dashboard and they don't care.

Do they have some sort of anonymous reporting site? Maybe mention the Mustang and get a pic of their license plate.

um no. i work for the police station on campus...they hire students to ticket at my college cause thats what i do...and i got in trouble for not writing these violations... so NOT FAKE!

seriously? you just believe your uncle, that he knows every single cop and parking enforcement officer in the entire country and exactly how they act in every situation? jesus, you're ******* dumb. cops are not "all" honest, and they do have quotas to make, and often write tickets for ridiculous shit just to get their numbers up. if your uncle's a cop, he's not going to tell you anything bad about cops. So, I know it's hard, but just try to slowly inch your head out of your ass (I know it must be pretty far up in there), and think for yourself before calling fake.
