Different takes from different posters:



Obviously the cop is a right wing Nazi fanatic who agrees with GWB that we should steal Iraqi oil and kill Moslems. America is Evil and the police are corrupt. Wake up before Chimpy Boy makes parking illegal in America and gives us ALL parking tickets!
-Blitz

The cop should have shot Zigrat first and asked questions later. How do we know he's not a Terrorist? If you aren't with us then you must be against us.
-Grunherz

Clinton had sex with an intern. He is a national disgrace.
-Hortlund

Have we ever tried to reason with illegal parkers and find out why they hate America so much they ignore our parking laws? I think we need to try to understand them.
-Sandman

I say Zigrat was the constable armed? How big was his gun? What color was it? Our police rarely carry guns because guns are banned in England and we're better off for it. Tootle-pip.
-Beetle

The reason we can't park at the airport is because the French support terrorism and hate the USA. The French suck. And so do the Russians and the Germans. And all the nationalities who aren't white.
-Rude

I never get parking tickets at the Airport because my BMW is so sleek it looks like it's moving even when it's parked. That and the parking police all love me. Everybody loves me.I'm perfect. I love my BMW.
-Ripsnort

Dripsnore, I wouldn't feed you the peanuts out of my poop if you were starving to death. I hope your wife gives you a dose of the clap.
-Creamo

I was getting stoned at the airport once and when the cop gave me the ticket I offered him a hit off the joint. He took all my pot and gave me another ticket.
-Midnight Target

Fight the ticket,  I bet he wont even make it to court...  If he does explain to the judge your case...  Be shure to write your airline the, FAA, and your local airport head a letter or two... describing your situation and how you will not a support an industry that is trying prey on its honest customers....  write your congressman to tell them to not bail out any airline that may belly up.... CC that letter to the people listed above...  Be shure to have these letters when you go to court to present the judge...  Now court is court...  any sane judge will look at the economy look at the current airline industry and kick your case out of court...  now the insane, our court system is a craps shoot...  Get a judge who doesn't like the way you look etc.. then youll lose..

way i see it its win if you fight it...  lose if you dont...  worst they could do for you fighting it is just pay anyway..  if you have the time to monkey around then fight it...

Just my Opinion....

Umm...no jury for parking tickets.  And if the cop tells the judge that Zig was parked in front of the sign, which, oddly enough, is what Zig tells us, he doesn't have to lie.

Anyone who's knowingly guilty yet fights a parking ticket should be charged for the court time they waste. Either that or flogged. Pay the freakin' ticket and don't waste the time of the Court system. Sheeesh.

Fight it Zig.  They may have you on the letter of the law, but I've never seen them ticket somebody for that without a warning.  Usually they will come up and say "if you don't move in 5 seconds I am going to write you a ticket."
If their goal was to keep traffic moving, that's what they would have done.  
Instead he went right for the citation pad.  Revenue is more important than traffic flow I guess.

I don't understand.  You broke the law then tried to argue w/ the cop.  Sounds like YOU are the arrogant one.  Take your medicine, you earned it.

Strange- in Washington, DC there's parking signs with restrictions stated on them all over the place.

No Parking Or Standing: Means, you can't stand (sit in the car with the engine running) or park (turn off the engine and leave your car).

No Parking: You can not leave your vehicle.

But never a "No Standing" sign.

People sit in their cars with the engines running in "No Parking" zones all the time, cops and meter maids leave them alone. But if they do the same in a "No Parking or Standing" zone, they'll get ticketed.

I mean, if sitting in your vehicle with the engine running is considered parking... then what the hell do they need "No Standing" signs for??
