Stop unfair PARKING VIOLATION FEES
Parking violation fees should be capped at 25% of one day's minimum wage of the city of violation. Parking violation fees should be a slap on the wrist and not break the bank!
Why is this important?
I parked my car in front of my house 14 min before NO PARKING street cleaning time was up, after the street sweeper went through, and I was charged $80!!!
Minimum wage in Los Angeles is $9/hr.
A minimum wage worker makes $81 in an 8hr work day. With taxes, Social Security, and all of the stuff you take out of the wage, it will take two full days to pay for one parking ticket (for street cleaning).
