In 2011, I was given two parking tickets when legally parked in Boston.<p>The first ticket was issued for parking in resident street parking without a permit.  I was actually parked just after the sign delimiting the resident parking area[1].  I photographed where I was parked and sent in an appeal which was accepted.<p>A month later, I was parked in the same non-resident street parking and I was issued a ticket for failing to pay a parking meter; the number of the meter I supposedly failed to pay was a LONG block and a half away from where I was parked.  Again, I submitted an appeal, but this time it was not accepted.<p>The friend I was visiting when I received these tickets was a producer for a local television news station.  She told the story of these two tickets to their investigative reporter who was interested in the story and was going to inquire about it with the Boston PD.  Apparently she didn&#x27;t get anywhere with the story, but Boston PD did stop sending me failure to pay notifications for the fine.<p>[1]: This non-resident street parking was not metered.<p>(EDIT: Foot-note formatting)
