Fine for parking in my own driveway ... silly city ordinance that I was not aware of. The patrolman must have been incredibly bored that day.

What kind of dumbass rule is that?!
ANYONE who parks on a footpath within the City of Joondalup can expect no mercy from parking inspectors - even if the footpath in question is part of your own driveway.
There's a difference between getting caught and not.m3thod wrote:

Yeah cause when you don't know you had a parking ticket(that was for 8 dollars), and was homeless(living on my friends couch) it's easy to miss said bills.lowing wrote:
Nope, just shows how easy it is to stay out of jail and/or get your ass whipped by police when you don't have one coming.m3thod wrote:

I've easily paid over $2000 to the courts in the last 10 years. Plus I got sent to jail for 10 days for trespassing. I ran on the field after the Angels beat the Yankees to win their first playoff series ever (2002). I slid headfirst into second base, got arrested and put in a paddy wagon, then did not pass go and went directly to jail. Apparently when you are on probation you cannot commit any other crimes
I've seen myself on a playback once - they were reminiscing about that game (and series) and as they showed a clip of the winning catch you could see little KEN-JENNINGS running from the outfield towards second base. I told all my friends that I probably was going to do it and I got a few voicemails from them asking if the little blue blob was meMekstizzle wrote:

Oddly enough I've never actually been fined I don't think, lots of close calls but nothing proper
Most laws on parking are criminal tbh.[F7F7]KiNG_KaDaFFHi wrote:

Well, I got caught going the wrong way down a one way this last year. As soon as I got to the intersection I realized I was going the wrong way, but there was also a cop at the intersection. I pulled over into the first drive I could, he got out and talked to me. I explained that it was an accident. He understood that and let me off. Didn't even ask for my license.mtb0minime wrote:
