What about parking tickets? Do they just leave the VIN# empty or impound your car?

Parking tickets usually go off the license plate, last I checked.

In fact, so do normal tickets, last I checked. My first job was punching in traffic ticket info for the CHP, and I don't recall ever seeing a VIN; just the LP and DL.

This is in the US, though. Other places might have different information tracked on citations.

LA parking tickets have VIN. You obviously cannot have DL on a parking ticket. Here is an example image: https://pci.etimspayments.com/pbw/include/la_sheriff/images/...

Noted.

Well yeah, obviously. I was talking about tickets in a broader sense, going by forms CHP 215 ("Notice to Appear", i.e. normal traffic tickets) and CHP 281 ("Notice to Correct Violation", i.e. "fix-it" tickets).
