I recall a poster mentioning meters that expired too quickly.
Does anyone know how reliable the meter clocks are supposed to
be, in general?  Today I went to the post office and put in a
nickel for 6 minutes -- I came out after about 8 minutes and the
meter hadn't expired.  I guess if I were playing by the rules
advocated by some posters, I should pay the city $8 ... after all,
I didnt pay for the extra 2 minutes.

Also, in response to the "entrapment" charge:  Don't the traffic cops
hang around waiting for people to speed?  How different is this, in
principle, from meter maids waiting for meters to expire?   That IS
their job... 

Of course, there is no excuse for rudeness on the monitors' part,
and also there is no excuse for writing tickets on cars with
unexpired meters.

Just my 2 cents...
