Five to ten years ago (I really forget exactly when) I had my car towed from the street in front of my house in Minneapolis because I had forgotten to pay a few parking tickets – something which only could have happened with either an extremely bored officer manually entering license plate numbers to check... or with an automatic reader which searched every plate it saw.

Out of curiosity, how does on forget to pay several parking tickets?

Normally, I'm a very forgetful person, but letting debt pile up is something I never allow myself to forget.

When I lived in Germany everyone paid their parking tickets religiously. In the UK you'd also have your car towed away until you paid your tickets with interest plus the storage and towing fee.

I found a parking ticket blowing down the street. I'm sure whoever owns it will be reminded in a timely fashion.

j/k Their license will be suspended and the fee will be treble after the expiration date. And they still won't know until they get pulled over or run a license check.

But the GP clearly knew they had multiple outstanding parking tickets. It's not like they causally didn't know.

edit/ I've been there personally and I was simply unable to afford them, it had nothing to do with forgetting. Thankfully I never had my car towed as a result.
