Buffalo Parking Ticket Blitz
October 4th, 2006 | Published in Local Data | 1 Comment
Patrick Lakamp of the Buffalo News analyzed 21,000 city parking tickets from a three-month period this year when police stepped up their enforcement. Among the findings:
Police officers cited drivers for no-parking and no-standing violations more than any other violations, but wrote relatively few tickets for parking at expired meters or too far from a curb.
Fifty-eight officers wrote at least 100 tickets in the three months after Jan. 12, while only seven wrote more than 100 tickets in the three months before then.
Police officers wrote more tickets on Sundays than any other day. More than half of police-issued tickets came on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Parking bureau officers seldom work on Saturdays, and they wrote fewer tickets on Sundays than any other day on the job.

Yes for having parking tickets is totally my fault but when you have let’s say four vehicles and they start to add up to about 2,600 don’t you think they should take payments?? I mean certainly not payments ten or twenty dollars here or there im saying payments of $500. How do they expect someone to pay 2,600 all at once??? As your vehicle is in the impound adding up more money they can’t take payments…. or you can’t pay what you owe on the car in the impound thats ridiculous you have to pay all the tickets.
