Chuckle- there was a big scandal a few years back when the PRIVATE
CONTRACTOR Detroit hired for parking enforcement was caught doing the same
thing. They'd just put down plate numbers at random, call the R.O. data up

per centage, natch, and counted on most people just mailing in the money vs.
taking a day off work, and driving in ( some cases long distances) to fight
it.
