Believe this?
The day before xmas I drove up to my mom's house in catonsville. I had the S on a trailer still in track trim from VIR. I left it parked there for an hour while I went to the mall to finish up some Christmas shopping...... lo and behold when I return there is a parking ticket taped to the trailer! The neighbors said that a hospital employee who works at a halfway house down the street called the police to complain about parking. The Cop wrote me a $50 ticket for parking a large trailer on the street. I looked up the county parking codes on the Balto County website and printed them out. After taking them to the police station and asking a few questions, it looks like I will have to fight it in court..... figures, it will cost me more to fight it than it will cost to pay it!

sux man - i feel your pain
i got a $56 ticket for "parking in an unmarked crosswalk" one weekend. No no parking sign or anything. A woman who parked across who was clearly in "No Parking" area got one too. Pisser was hers was for $25. I was also pissed b/c i knew i was not taking the half day off to fight it.....I chalked it up to the price of having a nice car - the parking cops see a nice car and say "that person can afford it."

We have a neighbor like that; he was renovating without a permit so the County got a phonecall...
...If I have to follow the rules/laws as strictly as he suggests, then so does he. Usually I live and let live, but this guy needs a dose of his own medicine.

I looked up the actual regulation online...
The Balto County website has a link to the 2003 code of regs, with updates thru 2005. The official online reg says you can park it for 48 hrs. When I went to the police station the "traffic expert" told me that there was no time specified and that it was up to the officer
BTW I think its humerous that they totally dismiss the Countys website... quote" oh that never gets updated" even though it says 2005 specifically!<ul><li><a href="http://www.amlegal.com/baltimoreco_md/">http://www.amlegal.com/baltimoreco_md/</a</li></ul>
