I know you don't control the police do this isn't directed at you, but... It seems like the police just need to actually do their job if it's causing major issues.

Ehhhhhhhh. I certainly appreciate the officer that wasn't doing their job when I was doing 52 in a 50 zone yesterday. It's a tough job and there could be any number of factors that prevent them from issuing more citations.

But in the end aren't parking citations just another form of that tax? Shipping companies will just pass the cost on to the consumer, and there may be deeper ramifications (like loss of job) for the delivery person who isn't given any real choice.
