Hikind says muni-meter receipts blowing in the wind
Drivers unfairly ticketed, lawmaker charges
Talk about being in the thick of it!
Drivers are getting unfair parking tickets because of the flimsiness of muni-meter receipts, according to Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who said the thin pieces of paper are blowing away, causing traffic enforcement agents to mistakenly believe that motorists didn’t bother to put money in the meter. As a result, the agent issues a summons to the driver.
The problem, Hikind said, is the flimsiness of the receipts, which are printed on very thin paper.
