NYC Going After Vehicle Registrations for “Deadbeats Who Refuse to Pay Their Parking Tickets”
When “deadbeats refuse to pay their parking tickets, towing and booting aren’t enough,” city officials say. Now they’re going after vehicle registrations.
“When you don’t pay, we’re going to come after you as hard as we possibly can,” said Finance Commissioner David Frankel. “We’ve started looking at every way that we have to collect money from people who are putting the screws to the people who do pay.”
The city sent warning letters in March to 13,000 motorists who had racked up five or more unpaid parking tickets over any 12-month period in the last eight years.
The “deadbeats” – who collectively owed the city $17 million for 130,000 tickets – were told they’d lose their registrations if they refuse to pay up.
That could mean facing misdemeanor charges that carry hefty fines or jail time if they’re caught driving without a registration.

new york isnt alone with parking ticket problems, the municipal problems become easier to understand when a city like san francisco wants to put a bond measure on its ballot for street repairs, WAIT A MINUTE
