Adverse to parking tickets? Then, you better watch out. Here’s why: the District Department of Public Works (DPW) is now taking photographs of some parking infractions that led to tickets. It’s called evidence. The agency is using TicPix, a tool that allows drivers to see images of an alleged violation online 72 hours after a ticket is issued, and up to 90 days afterward. TicPix could help reduce and resolve disputes over parking tickets, of which DPW wrote 1.5 million in FY 2010. Images will not be posted for more than a dozen violations, including overtime at a meter, snow regulation, and excessive idling.
