I know most of you just ignore them, but apparently, you may not have deserved the ticket after all.
Another fine example of work by our public servants.

There's a few spots in the Quarter that are freight zones but have no signs indicating that. Tourists park there and get tickets all the time. Not a good idea to screw over the city's lifeline.

The HS dropout "ladies" they have issuing tickets do not have a care or concern for the "bigger picture"
In fact the only positive thing you can say about these ladies is, well, at least they are not home collecting welfare.

It would seem to me that a simple camera with license recognition software could automate this process, and also allow the meter maid to take a few pictures of the illegally parked vehicle.
This is not hard, yet, it seems impossible in a place like Louisiana.

I've gotten parking tickets on my vehicles that were parked in my own damn driveway.

One great thing about having an LSU plate - or other specialty plate - is that those meter maids have no idea how to enter them correctly. So yeah, I ignore them.

I believe the newer ticket machines do snap a picture of the offense for evidence. Not sure if the camera is used to collect license plate data but I don't see why it couldn't be.
Seems like it may cost a bit extra to have a handheld that uses GPS to track the employee as well as the citation location, has an integrated camera that scans the plate for accuracy and prior tickets, uses camera to collect evidence, and prints out ticket for 1 of a dozen types of offense. Units could easily have been funded by the $190,000 wasted last year.
This is 100% caused by the states choice to hire the wrong employees.

I got one for 80$ and went to go pay online only to realise that the license plate number was screwed up. There is no way I am going to waste an afternoon going to tell them the it is screwed up, they wrote a ticket to a plate that doesn't exist.

Sounds like a great episode of Parking Wars

Who doesn't do that? It's the easiest way to get out of paying.

Absolutely.
TEN YEARS AGO in Harris County, the constables out there had these little printer machines in their squad cars. If you got pulled over, they took your info, went back to the car, typed it all in, printed a ticket, and handed you the printed ticket. Everything was easy to read.
Here, we still have officers using those flimsy pads to hand write them with terrible penmanship.

Got a ticket for parking on the neutral ground during Mardi Gras three years ago. Everything was correct on the ticket, including the license plate number, but the state was entered as TN.
Never paid that shite.

The fact that they didn't even know they couldn't ticket fleet vehicles is pathetic. They literally don't know the laws they are enforcing

About 1,900 tickets were improperly issued to fleet vehicles, such as UPS and FedEx trucks, which are allowed to stop briefly at a metered parking spot without paying a fee. These dismissals cost the city $17,000 annually. "Parking Enforcement Management was unaware of the fact that the Administrative Hearing Center dismissed all parking citations issued to Fleet Vehicles at metered spots
thats like a half dozen tickets a day.... impressively bad. how do the hearing center and enforcement managers not connect on that issue at some point.

A cop in nola told me once that a meter maid was writing him a ticket in an unmarked car although he had a "NOPD Officer ON DUTY" plate displayed on the dash and he was standing beside it in uniform. (He was parked outside the police station on Royal Street in the pedestrian mall).
The officer told her not to write the ticket, he was on duty. She wrote the ticket anyway.
He then followed her to the next corner where he wrote her a ticket for JayWalking.
