I have off street at my home and a spot in the building where I work. Walk or Uber for moving around town.

There is a "shoot on site" order from the city if I park on the street.

actually, those fat arse meter maid bitches will come on private property (ie surface lots in the CBD) to ticket and boot your car if they can get to it. I have outstanding red light and speed camera tickets there, and only use elevated private garages when I visit, and then Uber everywhere I need to go.

Seems like it would be easier to just pay the fine.

Legally they can't.

It's a private company that boots for the city. Not the city itself.

Now the owners of private property can boot.

I work for the city and have 11 photo violations over the last 10 years and refuse to pay them. They can’t do anything to you.

Not sure about the "photo" violations, but about 15 yrs. ago I had a couple of parking tickets I ignored (I live in Metairie). Parked in a legal street space for Bacchus Sunday; came back to find my car had a boot on it. Still can't get over the fact that the city, who can't get their act together on basic infrastructure and crime issues, has the ability and initiative to have employees ride around running ALL license plates during Mardi Gras and applying boots.

Think of what a much better city it would be if they used their abilities for good, and not evil.
