Mention the Australian city management (City Rangers) in the heart of the image, with a basic sentence can be perfectly summed up: what other things can not do, a ticket is absolutely a top two!
Speeding on the road, 5 kmkmph, penalty!
Parking overtime for three minutes, penalty!
In short, driving is also punished, parking is also penalized, do not punish you doubt life, they are embarrassed to get off work!
So, the city management will not, will only catch the rules and regulations? That`s one-sided!
In the face of criticism from Australians, city managers have chosen to prove themselves in silence with practical actions: who says we can only punish good drivers who obey the law? we also want to follow the penalties!
Recently, an anonymous informant exposed to 7 News such a scandal: in order to issue more parking tickets, the city management even used a mean trick, deliberately frame innocent drivers!
The informant himself was a Sydney-based chengguan, (City Rangers), who had a parking ticket, but watched his colleagues` dirty behavior every day and couldn`t stand the rebuke of his conscience, so he exposed the dirty fact to all Sydney drivers: he pointed out, Although the Australian traffic authorities do not explicitly stipulate the amount of fines per month, but Chengguan will set a fine target for themselves! When the amount of fines can not be completed, some chengguan will find some road sections where tickets need to be parked, and make use of the dirty tricks.
(the road where parking is required by ticket is very common in Sydney)
Normally, drivers with good parking tickets will put their tickets in front of the windshield, so long as the tickets run out of time, then parking is reasonable and legal! However, this small problem, does not stop the urban management of the pace of money, in order to poke people, they will carefully select an angle to take pictures of drivers love cars, so that people can not see in the photos of the car put parking tickets!
(the informant revealed to reporters the "tricks" of the city management`s photo-taking.)
But if you take a picture and issue a ticket immediately, when the driver comes back to pick up the parking ticket, it will be all out. In order to ensure the success of the fine, Chengguan also came up with a more negative move: wait a month, and then send the fine to the driver`s home!
The vast majority of innocent drivers have been trapped in this trick. When they received tickets a few weeks later, the first reaction must have been confusion and anger: are you kidding me? I definitely bought the tickets!
But think carefully and silly: parking tickets have already been thrown away! The only evidence of legal parking, it`s in the dumpster!
Is the use of drivers will not retain expired bills, this group of unscrupulous urban management framed countless people, every day to follow the law-abiding driving, but in the end was fined a large sum of money!
The hardest part is that drivers know they are right, but they can only get on fire! The complaint said that there was no violation of the rules and regulations, and the carefully designed photos of the traffic police were put there, and they were empty-mouthed; pay the money and plead guilty, and they really can`t swallow this breath!
Even if a small number of people happen to leave their tickets and lodge complaints, the city managers only have to say lightly, sorry, this is a small mistake, and then put on a sincere face to apologize, the matter will not be over.
The next time they take to the streets on duty, they are still using the secret tactics, take the Ticheng photo, nothing will be delayed! Some boring traffic police, but also set up a penalty money competition, today you trap 10 people, tomorrow I have to pit enough 20, not only do not feel ashamed, but more and more vigorous!
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that the Australian City Management Agency has been exposed in a parking ticket scandal. Before that, a man named Robert Watson, who had complained to City Council that his car had been put up with an inexplicable ticket, had been parked in the right place. The ticket has to say that Robert parked illegally in Loading zone!
(pictured above is a photograph taken by Robert, the red car belongs to him)
Two weeks later, Robert received a live photo from Council and, at first glance, it was silly to see that his car was really in Loading Zone.
(the relative position of the parking signs in the two photos is completely different.)
"this picture is definitely PS`s!" Robert angrily, brought City Council to court, both sides cling to each other, this lawsuit is still not clear!
With traffic police poaching scandals exposed, Sydney`s old drivers are furious: why is it so hard to park a car?
Sydney`s parking penalty is already one of the most expensive in the world, more than double that of New York, a lot more than London, Auckland and other big cities. Pay a ticket, and half a month`s fare goes in!
(in Sydney, the fine for parking is 108 to 541 Australian dollars.)
(in New York, the parking penalty is just A $46, 236, half the size of Sydney!)
Money is expensive not to say, a road can sometimes create seven or eight parking signs, see people dazzling, said you did not deliberately poke money, I do not believe that it is really killing me!

Even if there are so many problems before, drivers also put up with it, because that is the most way to find a way to punish money, now it is good, directly began not to deceive the money!
Australian netizens also said: even legal parking should be punished, the traffic police do not like, this is even more annoying. Take a look at the message from netizens below.
It did happen to me. I put the ticket in front of the windshield and left for three minutes. The traffic police posted me a ticket. I sent it to them and I was fined.
Now this world is really hard to believe in others, scandals everywhere, even traffic police have been deceitful, quickly clean up these people out of Australia!
I`ve also seen some traffic police guard at the school gate when they pick up school, just to give tickets to the parents who pick up the children. This kind of behavior is really disgusting!
These scandals remind me of a traffic policeman standing by my car waiting for my parking ticket to pass and fine! As a result, just a second after my parking ticket, he gave me the ticket!
I recorded the whole thing because it was illegal, and then I pulled him to ATM by the ear and let him pay the fine out of his own pocket!
Pay by card as much as possible, so that the expense record will give you evidence, and some machines support card-swiping to pick up parking tickets.
Look at this posture, the image of the traffic police, will be afraid of washing white.
After all, they did make it very difficult for the drivers in Sydney to take a 360-degree panoramic picture and then keep the tickets for a whole year, and it was not easy to worry about the behavior of the drivers in Sydney after they had stopped the car for a whole year before taking a 360-degree panoramic picture of the car.
In short, driving a car in Sydney is really tired, through the traffic jam, through the penalty, finally let you crash, even the traffic police deep tricks.
Australia`s old drivers, and drive and cherish it!
