When The Un-Expired Meter Gets Ticketed

What happens when you get an expired meter ticket, even though you still have time on your meter receipt?

Well, of course you should contest it.

But these days, you tweet a photo of this travesty of justice first.

Marcy Capron was in this situation the other day and tweeted the photo and her disgust saying via her Twitter account, “Excuse me police person, but my sticker wasn’t expired yet! Idiot…”

Hopefully Ms. Capron will see this situation through and fight her ticket.

Hat tip to Logan Square resident and urban planner (and friend of this website) Lynn Stevens, who tweets about both subjects on her @peoplingplaces Twitter account.
