The Fark headline sums it up best: “Why you should dump your ex politely: they might date a cop next, and you might get a parking ticket at the same time every day on a street you’ve never been to that it’s legal to park on. For a car you don’t own”
The Chicago Tribune has the full story:
Of the 24 tickets he has received, 13 were written by the same officer. … The 13 tickets were written at four different South Side locations in May, July, August and October of last year. All 13 of those tickets were written at exactly 10 p.m., no matter which day they were issued. And all 13 were sequential in number, meaning that from May to October that officer wrote no tickets to anyone other than Geinosky from the ticket book in question.
Luckily, by showing up and explaining that he no longer owns the vehicle, all the tickets have be quashed. But still!
And when he tried to file a complaint, the Internal Affirs division told him: “We don’t investigate parking tickets.” (Luckily, they’re since launched an investigation.)
