Austin, Texas Explores Photo Parking Snitch Tickets
• The NewspaperResidents of Austin,
Texas may soon have the power to issue parking tickets by taking a few
photographs of someone else's car with their smartphones. A unanimous
council voted on October 20 to explore the concept of deputizing
vigilante meter maids using an iPhone app. Disabled advocates pushed the
program at the council meeting in the hopes of guaranteeing easier
parking. They were joined by others who were just interested in writing
the $511 tickets.
