So TMan, what did they charge you with, insulting a meterman without a permit? Those permits cost the same as the parking ticket and are sold at a kiosk in an alley near the shores every second Thursday.

Seriously though, I am all for obeying the law and all that, but like most of us I got tagged for parking on the wrong side of the street at 0-dark-thirty one Thursday morning. Sure, I should have read the sign but it was dark and I had no clue that the signs were there. It was my bad and I paid the fine without a fight. It still pisses me off though.

I keep hearing that we do not have enough cops on the street to stop crime but they aways seem to find time to do enforce this kind of piddly stuff. Of course, this brings in money and catching bad guys costs money. I guess in the end, everything comes down to money doesn't it?
