Bret Baier’s Fox News crew was busted by Beijing’s cameras for illegal parking during Donald Trump’s state visit—and locals filmed the team blocking traffic too.
One Fox News viewer offered a more measured perspective, “Cool, that’s how parking enforcement works in NYC, DC, Chicago, LA, London, and basically every major city with cameras,” adding, “You park illegally, the system catches it, you get a ticket.”
The same commenter elaborated, "The only difference is the speed of the notification. Most US cities mail you the ticket a few days later. Beijing sends a text the same day. The technology is faster. The system is the same.
If “automated parking enforcement that texts you when you violate the rules” is communism, then NYC’s $238 million in annual camera-issued parking tickets is the largest communist enterprise in North America."
I’m getting a kick out of this comment because I just got a ticket from NYC because their 30x20 pixel camera decided someone else’s plate looked like mine. I live in a different state and haven’t been to NYC since middle school. The car is completely different from mine. /rant
Fuck Fox and its viewers though.
Parking illegally is a sport in NYC
Some schmucks will even play the game of “maybe this loser will pay my ticket.”
I was legally parked with a work van and came back to a ticket on my windshield tucked under the wiper blade. I knew I was parked legally so I opened it kinda pissed off only to see the ticket was written for a red truck and I was in a white van lol what a prick…
Those scumbags will ticket work vans if they are below quota b/c they assume you’re too busy to fight it.
