<p>I parked in a small parking lot the other night, and there was no attendant in site. When I got back to my car two hours later there was a ticket on my car, and on just about every other car in the lot.</p> <p>The ticket lists fines that increase by day up to a certain point before the ticket goes to collections.</p> <p>But can they actually enforce that kind of policy? It seems as if they deliberately left out the attendant for a $5 parking space so they could charge every car that night a $15-$75 fine.</p> <p>They do have my licence plate# but that's it, but that info is protected by the DMV isn't it? So is this just an empty threat so they can get more money, or should I actually try to pay them off for their underhanded policy in order to stay out of trouble?</p>
