After finding a citation upon one’s own car, they gently remove the ticket and the accompanying envelope and place it on their neighbor’s car. They now assume the ticket is no longer their responsibility.
Why this doesn’t work:
When an officer writes a ticket, they include the license plates and a description. Or the vehicle identification number for those who drive around without their license plates.
Parking illegally and displaying an old citation you received, believing that we will be fooled by its presence.
Why this doesn’t work:
Our officers actually check previous citations to see WHEN they were issued. If they discover an old citation is masquerading on top of your windshield, they will still write out a citation for parking without a permit. Then, they will align the two envelopes to make it look as if only one ticket is there. Once you make your way into the parking lot, you will smile to yourself smugly, thinking the ruse worked. But when you approach the car and lift the ticket, you notice that it has increased in thickness.
