Reply to comment by Fattom23 in [Inquirer] Philadelphia collected $21 million in fees to improve pedestrian safety. Sidewalks are still treacherous. by Hoyarugby

I think the ticket requirement should be made exempt for cars parked on the sidewalk. Maybe even try like a one-month period of it to see what happens. It’s such a black and white violation that a ticket isn’t necessary.

Towing companies could just take photographs or videos of the cars They’re about to tow, and the tickets can be issued retroactively. If all we are trying to do is prevent towing company crime, they can document themselves out of liability.

Towing companies though have been caught doing scummy things in the past, like putting up signs after a car is parked. I guess the fear would be them towing a car onto the sidewalk, then taking a photo.
