  I would have been the one to make the complaint as I pay all my tickets with change and $1 bills.
context: It’s a new spin on an old con. I wonder if any of the vehicles were actually in violation of any parking ordinance. >
  
  I wonder how many ppl just pay fines like this without checking. Unless they were obviously fake tickets, I might pay. You don't expect this sort of scam, well I dont lol. I'll be more aware in future now. >
  
  I think the giveaway was the QR code to pay the ticket rather than an official city government website. But yeah I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who would just pay it without a second thought. >
  
  A lot of car parks here (even ones for municipal facilities) are run by private companies, so Brits would be even less likely to suspect anything was amiss. I actually admire his ingenuity in a way. For a 19 year old, that's pretty innovative. I mean I know it's wrong but it's not the worst thing I've seen someone do. >
  
  They even had a QR code. That’s hilarious. Wonder if it opened to his Venmo >
  
  I was thinking that too! 🤣 >
  
  fucking Santa Cruz
  i swear this kid was probably just getting high, watching some traffic cop hand out tickets one day, and thought "i gotta get in on that" >
  
  He's just disrupting the parking industry. >
  
  Would love to see what this ticket looks like lol >
  
  Here is what I found. >
  
  Those palm trees 😆 >
  
  It's so much cuter than the real one. >
  
  
  He denied receiving any payments
  
  Nah we know he probably put it into crypto or transferred it over to cover his tracks like the Twitter scammer. >
  
  Wonder how they were caught? >
  
  People complaining about improper tickets. People that would know what a ticket looks like and immediately know it's fake. >
  
  In a related story, Parking enforcement ticket handicapped drivers for parking in regular spots. >
  
  Kid’s probably a vampire too. >
  
  I still believe. >
  
  People are Strange
  When you’re a Stranger >
  
  Yeah! Only cops are allowed to pull that scam.  Its like two prostitutes fighting over their corner. >
  
  Wow, that's the kind of Yankee ingenuity that separates the US from the rest of the world./s
  A+ for originality but unfortunately an F for criminality. I have the feeling we haven't heard the last from the talented Mr. Ticketwriter >
  
  Ticketman, new marvel supervillain >
  
  Maybe ‘Ticketmaster’? >
  
  He said Marvel Supervillain, not real Supervillain. >
  
  I wonder what language was on the "ticket"? 
  I read a few years ago about a similar situation where cities contracted out their red light cameras to private companies, then the residents voted to no longer issue red light cameras tickets, or they were found non enforceable or something, but the company continued to issue "tickets" and collect money from people. >

  The City charging you to park on property owned by the public; that is the real scam right there. >
  
  The city manages public property and has decided that it should be shared amongst all people. An individual may use that property for a certain length of time on a fee schedule, and is then required to relinquish it.
  If you don't like it, speak with someone at City Hall. >
  
  Don’t bother with fake tickets. Print your own QR codes and place on parking meters. People scan them and get directed to your own website and use their credit card to feed the meter. Cuts out the parking ticket printing and placement. >
  
  I forget where I heard this story, but it's true. There once was a man who just set up a payment station in a parking lot. No one ever questioned it, and he came every day to collect the money this went on for 20 years and then one day the guy just vanishes. He made millions >
  
  It's not true. Urban Legend. >
  
  Honestly I hope he beats the rap. This is the true entrepreneurship spirit. >
  
  Really gotta love that psychopath spirit this holiday season. >
