I'd be alright with them just making the 'fine' the fee of parking for the whole day, rather than some completely made up amount. The outrageous cost of parking in the first place isn't what irks me about these companies, it's the way they use these 'tickets' as extra revenue, it's a made up amount that isn't enforceable and then they use shady tactics to try and fool people into paying it.


That's why if I ever park downtown, which is maybe once a year, I try and seek one of those lots where you don't need to guess how long you'll be there, you just get a slip on the way in and pay on your way out for the exact amount of time you were there.
