  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.
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.
