Ohioans ticketed for parking in own driveways

[Enorbit3]

lets hope this kinda shit doesnt start happening out here since our state is in financial crisis also

TOLEDO, Ohio ? Residents of Toledo, Ohio, are complaining that they received $25 tickets for parking their vehicles in their own driveways.

Mayor Carty Finkbeiner (FINK'-by-ner) says he stands by the citations handed out last week by the Division of Streets, Bridges and Harbor. He says the tickets were issued under a city law against parking on unpaved surfaces, including gravel driveways.

During a news conference Monday, Finkbeiner ignored a reporter's question of whether the crackdown and fines were related to the city's budget crisis.

The three-term mayor faces a recall vote in November. Critics have claimed he's wasted city money.

City Councilman D. Michael Collins calls the ticketing "Mickey Mouse nonsense." He has told residents he'll try to have the citations rescinded.

that does happen out here, and in Phoenix (in some places) as well. just depends on where you are, some communities are more anal about that.

mickey mouse nonsense indeed though, especially for communities with no HOA

Well LA will ticket you if u park on your own lawn.

a lawn is waaay different than a driveway...a lawn is where grass grows, a driveway is a place to PARK a car.

technically its a gravelway... granted i would just grab a bag of cement, pave 4 little squares into my gravel, and then park my car onto those. they're PAVED. $5 and fixed.

hell you could even go into business creating little paved gravel squares for the entire state. you'd be rich!
