thats basically what i did. ive seen town facebook group posts about this so my town is one of these, preserving the old ways types of places idklol
So...
They still likely wrote the ticket because you said you fed the meter...
And if the cop wanted to be a dick, he could have wrote you a ticket as well?
I didn't realize you were the OP in the screenshot till now.
But if you really did that, it sounds like you didn't understand you didn't prevent that car from getting a ticket, because you admitted to feeding it.
well that's why i also fed the meter next to it that he was going to go for. and i stocked up with 8 quarters from my change charge now for when i walk my dog next XD. let me try and provide some context, the city put street meters on all roadside parking, theoretically you can get a local driver decal, but in practice thats only for homeowners because its also a college town. the meter maids are ruthless, and the tickets have like massive amounts written big in bold on them like 40 60$ and then in little print says pay by the end of the day and its on .. 10$! Plus the actual fees are paid to a company that has a contract with the town. They(the town) are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to enforce parking fees and the locals hate it, but we're a small minority, many of local do not hate it. it is the trenches of parking enforcement
