5 year ban for parking violations? That seems extreme.

  For inadvertent or pragmatic violations, but to say "Go ahead and fine me, I don't care" is pretty flagrant.

    In college (1991 +/- 2), garage parking in Harvard Square was $15 for an evening. Resident parking violations were $10. I regularly parked in resident parking areas, getting tickets perhaps half the time, rather than the certainty of a higher price in a garage. As an engineer, that seemed perfectly reasonable to me. (Resident parking violations are now much more expensive, so this loophole is largely fixed.)

      >As an engineer, that seemed perfectly reasonable to me. But it was a bad thing to do, because you were taking parking spaces from the people they were for. Their fine structure was broken, but your moral calculus was the problem.
