Yet another reason I almost never park downtown, and if I do I call in a favour and park inside the tow impound lot I used to work at.
Say you pay for a spot. Now say the owner has a parking enforcement company go through the lot and he "misses" your valid parking slip. You end up with a ticket for $40-60 bucks and also end up with the possibility of a court date to fight the "ticket".
Years ago, they used to be called MLEOs - Municipal Law Enforcement Officers. Except, they weren't "officers" at all... they went to a couple of meetings, passed a Toronto Police background check and were allowed to write phony tickets at the request of property owners. Big business getting them towed too.
I've got all kinds of inside dirt on this stuff if anyone wants it... just PM me.
