One Lot To Rule Them All
I attend a very large university and parking on campus is a nightmare, especially if you’re a student. The only lots available to park in are very far out of the way and parking passes are expensive (especially considering poor college students). Because of this, people park illegally all the time.
In response to the illegal parking, there is literally a division of the campus authorities that does nothing but drive around to pass out parking tickets (I guess not only pass out parking tickets, they jumped my car once at like 4 am but still, mostly parking tickets).
A friend of mine was able to beat the system, getting ticketed only twice which was far cheaper than paying for a parking pass. The lot he used to park in every day? The campus authorities’ station parking lot.
