2. What the hell are they all pointing at?

I can understand license plate scanners but I didn't think terrestrial parking enforcement had jurisdiction over helicopters.

5. I would think a rig like that would make it quite a bit more difficult to park.

without knocking something off

Is that even legal?

6. It's called autoChalk

In July 2007, the Fredericksburg Police Department implemented technology called autoChalk to encourage residents and visitors to obey the time-zone parking restrictions in the downtown district. The autoChalk system employs a vehicle-mounted camera, laser, laptop, and GPS unit which tracks the turnover of vehicles in time-restricted parking. The parking enforcement officer drives through the downtown area at the posted speed limit while autoChalk records parked vehicles through digital photography and specialized software. When the Parking Enforcement Officer drives through the area again after the time limit expires, autoChalk alerts the officer to any violations detected. The officer then compares the before-and-after images to confirm the infraction and autoChalk generates a ticket to be sent by mail to the vehicle's owner, using information from the license plate registration.

Wonder if they're keeping all that imagery and metadata in a database? You know, just in case.

9. Here, you can't park more than 1 ft from curb without getting a ticket

This vehicle would be ticketed the way it's parked.
