Interesting article on city government services for parking and redlights, etc. It definitely sounds like a good moneymaker (get busted for being a minute late paying the meter, and you get a instant fine).
My concern is how all of this is being brought together and run by a corporation with no appeal process. Also I can see a case of how if you have a 5 year old ticket you didn’t know about, go to park in the city, the meter summons the local meter person, tows your car and has an officer waiting to haul you off.
