TIPS FOR PARKING

Did you know that when you park at a parking meter, if there is any time left, you cannot park there unless you FEED THE METER. That ain't YOUR time...that was someone else's time. If a parking enforcement person sees you park without feeding the meter, you will come back to a parking ticket!!!

ALSO......once the time has expired on the meter, or if the time is almost done, you CANNOT re-feed the meter!!! YOU MUST move the car at least 500 feet and let someone else use that space. (bet you didn't know these tips....sucks, eh?)

CINCINNATI: A 63 year old grandmother of 10 was convicted of obstructing official business for what she considered an act of kindness when she fed some expired meters so they would not be ticketed. "I tried to do the right thing," Sylvia Stayton said as she left court. She was given a $500 fine. Officer Ed Johnson testified that he was about to write two tickets when Stanton fed the meters. He said he warned the woman that she was breaking the law, but then she became loud and difficult and refused to identify herself after she was arrested. Her brief stay behind bars turned her into a folk hero. She received $350 from people donating to her "legal abuse fund". A church group that has been feeding meters for years printed up t-shirts that read: "Sylvia Stanton...guilty of kindness."
