Why are you mapping out parking tickets?

Mostly because it's an extremely difficult problem that pushes me to learn new things across a wide field. If you're interested in checking it out, it's at [1].

I'd like to make something similar to [2] in the mid-term, but the longer goal's to find tickets given in error.
