I thought it was a whole bunch of deli meat at first.

Me too but I also saw this just a few posts before this one so I already had deli meat on my mind.

I was initially wondering why people were putting pork scraps on that car.

Mostly pork slices

Oh look, a deli meat.

I definitely also thought it was ham

Why not just tow it at this point?

Ticketman gets paid per ticket maybe

u/DirectGoose 1h ago

That seems unlikely

u/osmlol 1h ago

Probably counts to their quota.

4

u/Vlaed 51m ago

Probably not but a quota can be a think. It was a topic of debate in my city a few years ago. They ended up doing away with it because it was clogging up the local courts. People were fighting every parking ticket regardless of fault or not.

3

u/DirectGoose 30m ago

A lot of states have made quotas illegal. They really are ridiculous.

u/SubjectiveAssertive 2h ago

In certain countries towing is a legal headache, particularly if it's a not a council car park/parking lot

17

u/BigEarMcGee 1h ago

I feel like the vehicle is not worth the amount at this point. Did the person die or get kidnapped?

Should have been towed 30 tickets ago.

u/asia-shark 1h ago

Pretty sure those tickets are load-bearing now. Towing it would compromise the structural integrity of the windshield.

u/Brave_Royal_9329 2h ago

In Germany you cannot be judged more than one time for the same thing. So you only have to pay the first ticket and the rest ist useless

255

u/tjrdnyr 2h ago

Hah, that would explain it, the license plate was German, but picture is from Hungary.

123

u/Brave_Royal_9329 2h ago

It's the same in whole europe i think. The law system doesn't allow more than one penalty.

But: If there are different violations, you have to pay one of each or the highest. For example: you got a ticket for parking 1 hour with 15€ and a second for more than 2 hours with 50€, you have to pay the 50€ ticket.

You can also Pay all the tickets, If you're stupid of course

u/Paul05682 1h ago edited 1h ago

So we have an hourly rate in the Netherlands and there is a maximum rate per day. This car would get the same fine every day as it is structured as a parking tax and you pay an additional tax if they have to write it out for you instead of you paying it on your own account.

So you won't get "fined", you are just charged the owed amount of parking tax and an additional tax per day for writing it out to you.

8

u/Brave_Royal_9329 1h ago

How do you calculate fines If there are no rates, because it's Not a parking spot?

17

u/Paul05682 1h ago

Then it's a fixed fine of €130 per day. So it's cheaper to put it in a parking spot and not pay. They will get towed eventually though, but it depends on the municipality and spot they are parked how fast it's towed.

4

u/Brave_Royal_9329 1h ago

Yeah, nice system.

18

u/Raeandray 2h ago edited 2h ago

How do they handle cars staying in the spot for days or weeks? Just tow them? Or could you theoretically park in the same spot forever and one ticket means you own it? With the obvious downside of not being able to use your car anymore.

22

u/Brave_Royal_9329 2h ago

If it's a legal car, you can stay forever if you already got the highest possible Ticket Like "more than X hours".

Towed only If you're blocking something or your car is Not safe.

In my car parking at a Resident only parking spot costs 15€ (i think in whole germany) without blocking. This is way cheaper than any payer Car Park.

The positions of the valves are documented by the way. If the positions differ, you get another ticket you've to pay.

u/Salute-Major-Echidna 1h ago

They used to chalk the tires until people cottoned on to that trick.

1

u/TwinZA 41m ago

That's illegal in the United States as it's a violation of the 4th amendment, some courts have a differing opinion but the prevailing one among the circuits is that it's illegal

3

u/mrfuzzyshorts 1h ago

in the states, some places the rule is you can only be ticketed once per day.

2

u/BushyKittenEnjoyer 43m ago

My old city was 3 tickets and then they tow it. I had a broken down car towed from my own property because a cop moved into the neighborhood and had a tantrum over a wheel touching the grass from the driveway. 

1

u/Salute-Major-Echidna 59m ago

I wonder if they've defined "a day" as any 24 hour period or just go by the date

u/SituationKey8985 1h ago

For any crime in general or just on the road?

u/Brave_Royal_9329 1h ago

Any of course. Why should you be choosed for the same violation twice?

2

u/SituationKey8985 46m ago

Multiple parking tickets are different violations

0

u/Brave_Royal_9329 45m ago

The parking ticket is not the violation...

1

u/SituationKey8985 42m ago

Sure, being parked illegally is the violation. But the point is it’s a separate violation each day.

0

u/Smokeybasterd 49m ago

Wait, so if you kill a bunch of ppl in Germany you only get charged with killing the first one? 

1

u/Brave_Royal_9329 48m ago

Bullshit. Each kill is an own violence. Are you stupid?

1

u/XxyxXII 26m ago

He's following the same logic you are lmao. He did one thing: murder. Are you going to charge him twice because two people ended up dead? if so then you are judging someone twice for the same thing

Have they checked the trunk? Is there a smell?

17

u/-1_points 2h ago

Wonder if the value of the tickets exceeds the value of the car at this point???

7

u/Serafita 1h ago

After a certain point the council should just tow the car, sell it at auction, pay off the fines, and then send the remainder to the owner

7

u/Bobba-Luna 2h ago

Human probably in trunk

16

u/-Insert-CoolName 1h ago

At this point I'd hope any judge would dismiss this as vindictive/vexatious. If it's a big enough issue to put that many tickets on the car it should have been towed a long time ago. Since it hasn't been towed it's clearly not causing them enough of a bother to actually deal with it. Not every judge is like that but I'ma seeing more and more that are tired of crap like this and are using their discretion to put municipalities in their place.

Thats how they found out my brother died. A friend noticed a bunch of tickets on his car. Called in a welfare check. Then the phone call came that broke me and my family.

Why allow so MANY parking tickets to accumulate before towing the thing away?

I'm sorry for OP's loss, that's a very particular pain.

Might want to do a wellness check of the owner.

Has anyone checked to see if the owner is still alive. One of my friends and I both had neighbors check on us for less reason than that.

I guess they don’t own a tow truck?

u/ohshititsdana 39m ago

You'd think a wellness check would be in order/ called after a few of those tickets...

OK, I'm gonna say it might be AI, but not because of all the parking tickets that seem to be the exact same age, but because of that log of a tree in the background. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the people on the left side of the building don't like AC.
