Evading parking tickets

 I've gotten two parking tickets yesterday, both for expired license
plate tags. Normally, I'd give in and pay it, but since the expired
plates are from Pennsylvania and I moved to Virginia a year ago, I'm
thinking that if they tried to send a bill to my old address, it would
be returned to sender. I never got valid Virginia license plates, so
tracking me to my current address might not be easy.

Anyone tried to evade parking tickets or have a good reason to think I
might be able to get away without paying these? Together they are $80,
so it'd be nice to keep my hard-earned money, not to mention I'd hate
to see money going to a local government that hassles people with
stupid stuff like this.

 
I at one time had more than 100 parking tickets all on the streets of
Los Angeles with a car that had expired Pennsylvania tags. I think
they may have got me for felony parking.

First thing is hide the tickets, you don't want some unrelated
incident to lead to the discovery that you are a scoflaw.

Next was I had to be careful getting in my car in the morning. I would
look carefully to see if maybe their was a police officer nearby
waiting to arrest me. Sometimes paranoia is a good thing.

Then, one must drive carefully. If the police are suspicious of you
they will run your plates and find you have no respect for laws, not a
good first impression with the po-po.

Lastly, you can never sell your car or register it. States do talk to
each other and before you can register or reregister the car they are
going to make you pay. Ride you car until it is junk.

 I remember the day I said goodby to my car with more than 100 parking
tickets. The period to pay the infractions had passed and each ticket
ballooned in price, what was once a $25 ticket had now become
something like $100. I was tired of running and looking over my
shoulder. I removed the tickets, anything that could be traced back to
me and or my name, and for good measure I wiped down the interior to
remove any fingerprints. With a tear in my eye I bid fond farewell to
the car that served me so well over the years and left it on the curb.

I had left the car on the street in front of my apartment complex. It
continued to gather parking tickets. It grew dirty and the tires went
flat. Some one had broke a window and stole the radio that never
really worked right. I remember thinking, what an eyesore, I wish the
city wouldn't allow junk on the streets.

Then one day the inevitable happend; the car was removed and a load
was lifted from my heart. I promised my new car I would never allow it
to get a ticket and if it did, I would stand up and pay it right away.

 Of course all this was before computers and The Denver Boot. Today
they know if you have a certain number of unpaid parking tickets and
then they boot it.

 There is a difference between frugal and cheap. Get your cheap ass in
gear, pay the ticket, register your car and become a contributing part
of society

 Pay up, deadbeat!

I'll pay it, but I'll make a note to destroy some government property
equal to around $80 in value sometime in the future to make up for it.
It's only fair, after all.
