Thanks for sharing PBO. I like the way you wrote that up for them to review. Your case is surely evidence that someone needs a kick in the @$$, and at least you received a good resolution in your case.

Bashing meter readers in general is a terrible way to look at this issue. We all have a job to do no matter what that job might be. Writing up parking tickets, cleaning toilets, of taking out the trash. Some day we will have automated systems that automatically charge our credit cards when we park. You have to admit that some people are just plain stupid when it comes to where and how they park their vehicles. And yes the parking systems have a lot to be desired in some cities and towns. If you don't want a ticket, then don't park illegally. Even a 16 year old kid can understand that simple rule.

When one of our 4 daughters began driving a few years back she ran up a couple grand in moving and parking tickets that ended up on my wife's liciense because the car was in her name. We immediately transfered responsibility of that car over to her and made her deal with the mess. After having to pay for all of it she has not received one ticket since. Double parking or parking without paying in paid parking is against the law. Why bash the meter readers? PBO's case was simply one of dealing with a moron and he received a good outcome because he dealt with it the way it should have been handled.
