As the article explained, tickets had been voided when cases were disputed as widely happens in just about every city.<p>Honestly, if I were a public official reading the comments here, I&#x27;d be inclined to just go &quot;Why do I even bother? I explained how, even though the people who hand out most of the parking tickets were educated about the change, many police officers weren&#x27;t. We&#x27;ll fix it now.&quot;<p>Sure, rerun the analysis a year or two down the road. If things don&#x27;t change, that&#x27;s a story. But this strikes me as a nice use of open data and a reasonable response from the NYPD. You can argue that they should do pro-active refunds but a lot of addresses will have changed and it would be otherwise difficult and expensive. I&#x27;m honestly not convinced that&#x27;s a reasonable expectation.
