I arrived in New York in September of 1977 in a '65 Plymouth Fury II, and within 24 hours I had racked up something like $200 in parking tickets. I had to junk the beloved Plymouth. Thirty years later, I drive a 1990 Honda Civic and may be getting the hang of it.
Yesterday's Times carried this story about cops being expected to meet quotas for writing tickets: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/10/nyregion/10quotas.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 Are we surprised? We are not.
