Legitimate parking fines should of course be collected and violations enforced.

However, not all fines are legitimate.

The latest scam involves a pointless extension of the street sweeping season, which normally ends November 1.

You park your car outside your house at night, only to find it gone and a single slapped up cardboard sign saying "No Parking Tuesday" that wasn't there the night before.

So it is $48 (now $77 I guess) towing and a $55 ticket, all because some incompetent lazy slug of a city employee couldn't get the sign up 24 hours in advance.
