Ooops.

If that's seriously all that turned up they need to re-audit because it's more than those two who do it...

5 years of prison time for screwing with campus parking tickets? What a crock. As far as I am concerned it is the ISU parking division that is a bunch of crooks. And no, I don't have a personal reason for feeling this way, in 6 years on campus I could probably count the number of tickets I got on one hand.

This. You'd be absolutely amazed if you realized how much money they made. I laid into the parking division guy at Freddy a few times this summer when he was ticketing cars, yet he was parked in the handicapped spot.

This disgusts me. What a butt head

wow, 64 tickets worth over 1k, that is nice work.

As a former employee of the department of public safety at Iowa State I have just one thing to say:

I think it only takes 34 now. I think tickets went up to $30 this year.

My first year at ISU my parking tickets totaled about the same as tuition on my U-bill.

Glad I live in Freddy where there are basically zero ways of getting a ticket unless stupidity is a factor.

I had a friend in college get charged with 5th degree theft for hanging a Kmart receipt on his rear view mirror when his car was parked at Towers.

DO NOT CROSS THE PARKING DIVISION. They will throw everything at you including the kitchen sink. They have no hesitation to throw the book at dangerous suburbanite college kids who incur parking citations.

Yep, but what do you expect. Those guys really have a chip on their shoulder. And I would too if I got rejected from my dream job as a mall cop!

Why are they crooks? Not sure where your indignation comes from but I can tell you few things **** me off more than paying c. $120 a year for a general staff parking pass only to come to work every morning with students (or others) parking in reserved spaces. There are few around my bldg. and it's a roll of the dice every day whether or not there will be a space available.

I hate being that guy, but I have made calls to ISU parking to have cars removed (which they only do for repeat offenders). I'm thankful the division at least responds and writes tickets to discourage people from parking in designated areas.

I have no problem with them enforcing it during the day when the lot being full is an issue. That is the reason theyre there. However, when they go around ticketing people at 4:50, when the lots are completely empty except for a few cars, and most of those dont have passes, its a bit ridiculous.
