Life Pro Tip: if you are concerned about getting a parking ticket, keep your car running with the window wipers on high, rendering the officer unable to place the ticket on your windshield.
But enabling any would be theif to take your car at will
Knew this guy I was working with and was trying to get in touch with him all morning for a project we were working on
Dude:my car was just stolen, I've been dealing with the police
Me: that sucks man, what happened?
Dude: so I swing by 7-11 and run in to get a cup of coffee. I get out there and it's gone
Me: WTF! that really sucks.
Dude: yeah I left it running with the keys in
Me:….(umm…what do I respond here…you are a freaking idiot and deserve to get your car stolen)

Move the car back to where you were parked and place the parking ticket back on the windshield. Taxi home. Call police and report car stolen.

Contest it in court, demand your constitutional right to face your accuser and hope the cop is not there. If he/she shows up, play the race card and hope they are, to put it succinctly, Mark Furman-esque under cross examination.

See if the locality in which you got the ticket has any sort of diversion program for individuals of reduced financial means. Cite your 972 sq foot shanty and two children.

Dude, I have THE foolproof way to beat a parking ticket, check it:
1) Put ticket in hand
2) Place on kitchen table
3) Go get checkbook
4) Open it
5) Write check for $45
6) Mail to Parking Adjudication
Seriously for real, this is 100% effective to PWN those NOT DOPE DOPES
[Metermaids HATE him!]

I have to say that while I do appreciate the advent of electric cars, they're really messing with my biking prowess. I've spent 30+ years learning to detect where cars are and what they're doing behind me based on the sounds of their engines. I'm kind of a can't-see-a-car whisperer in this way. But these new electric cars just glide along not making the normal sounds at all. It's an inconvenience. Do you agree? Sound off in the comments!

that was a story line in weeds where they started using a prius to do drive by shootings as they were so quiet they took the targets by surprise
