It gets worse: many are essentially wanted for being the wrong skin color. A lot of laws disproportionately impact people of color. AKA systemic racism.
Downvoting it doesn't make it not true. See this article for example:
Parking fines are generally on the car, not a person
Citation? Because that doesn't fit my understanding.
So the car will pay the fine?
The owner will, if they would like the car to be legal to drive with updated license plates. It is a minor but important distinction. I can't speak directly that no states in the US operate differently. but as far as I know, you don't become a wanted person for parking tickets.
