It's been a while since we've had a good parking story on TSR, but this one's got the bile churning again.
Tables turn on cheating Boston ticket writer
By Donovan Slack, Globe Staff | May 26, 2006It's been said that guardians make the best thieves, but consider this one.
A city parking-ticket writer, one of the blue-jacketed officers sworn to uphold Boston's parking rules, according to city officials, last week discovered a ticket on her car, a citation for parking in a resident-parking zone without a sticker.
The officer marched into work the next day, ticket in hand, and told her boss that she, in fact, had a resident sticker and wanted the ticket cleared.
Her supervisor went outside to have a look. Sure enough, there was the sticker, properly mounted in the right rear window of the officer's car. But it didn't look right. It was severely faded, and when the supervisor ran the sticker's serial number through city computers, it drew up someone else's name. A disciplinary hearing was called.
Confronted by officials at the hearing on Tuesday, the officer—whose name was not released—began to confess. After originally saying she'd found the sticker in the street, city officials said, she told her questioners that she actually procured it from someone outsidean East Boston laundromat who asked, "Do you want to buy a hot sticker?"
The officer has been suspended without pay for five days and faces possible termination, pending an investigation.
