I'm not sure what to say... No day in court and it seems a little drastic for illegal parking.

I'm hoping that this doesn't give an mayors and LEO types ideas for this country. (Not that I'm into illegal parking. I only did it once and that was because the NO PARKING sign was facing away from where I parked.)

"Of course, you have to have a sense of humour in my line of work and I thought this would be a way of drawing attention to the fact that the city intends to be proactive in its fight against illegal parking."
