Zeroing in on Parking Offenders

June 23, 2009

Tom Feddor has gotten some 170 parking tickets from the city of Chicago. Feddor has managed to get most of them dismissed, but he was spending an awful lot of his time in traffic court, and city officials didn't seem interested in finding out why he was getting so many bogus tickets. So Feddor went to a local newspaper, which found that parking enforcement uses his license plate number, which is simply 0, to test ticketing equipment. City officials now say they will correct the problem.
