“Is this a huge loophole in the parking ticket system?”

“Dear PoPville,

This car in the picture has been parked on our block for over two weeks now. It has never moved and has out of state plates (I looked under the cover).

This morning I saw a parking officer and asked if she could check it out and see if they have a visitors permit or another legal reason to park there. She told me that they are not allowed to remove or lift up car covers for legal reasons…

Is this a huge loophole in the parking ticket system?? Can we all just bring a cover and park anywhere in the city we want now? Maybe the officer didn’t feel like dealing with it this morning, but that seems crazy if that is actually their policy.

I was wondering if you or anyone else has ever heard of this…”
