This will force the parking guy to get out of his car and manually check and input each plate into the computer individually.

This will at least make me feel better that he is earning the $3 fee that I will be paying each morning, especially in -30 weather.

Who's with me?
So basically you just want to make a guys day horrible who is just trying to do his job? Mighty big of you!

How long until the city starts ticketing you for parking illegally under this little scheme? If I were the guy forced to deal with you I'd be printing the ticket before I even got to your vehicle...and good luck negotiating on that!

I totally agree this was a bad move by city council, and a bad policy to pursue. But I hope that there are better ways to deal with this as opposed to just making life difficult for everyone else.
