Are you a lawyer who deals with traffic law, or is California just some sort of dystopia where you get hundreds of parking tickets as a normal way of life?

Up here in Ontario I've had 1 ticket in my life. I just... no, there is no way you're getting hundreds as an individual.

I had the custom plates NV and ended up in some sort of dystopia where I got hundreds of parking tickets for all different makes and models of cars until well after I returned the plates.

I wrote my story up here...

Good gravy. Thanks for the link. What a read.

I originally wrote that on Craigslists rants and raves at a point in the process when I was starting to get frustrated.

Just writing it out was therapeutic, it helped me see the absurd humor in the situation. Then someone responded with a link to an LA reporter who had written about similar situations.

I contacted him, he wrote a story about me, and all the bureaucratic problems just went away.
