Looks pretty neat. I like it.
 Uses "industrial grade" suction cups to create 750lbs of adherence to the violator's windshield.
Giving the old parking boot. . . the boot!

Meh, someone will drive off with their head out the window, cause an accident, and the victims will sue the company into oblivion.

I wish more cities would just build more decks and get revenue by HELPING their citizens find (and pay) for parking, versus ever escalating punishments and shrinking numbers of spots.

Why not just slide a coathanger or something similar under and release the suction?

All you need is a cordless drill in the trunk and that suction cup means exactly dick. Drill 2 holes where the suction cup is and throw it in the street.

Good concept with some pretty significant advantages over the boot.
Still I can't believe they trust the violators to return the device to the cop shop after paying. I hope these are cheap because I predict that very few will be recovered. |

Carry a sheet pan around and use it like a giant and very thin scraper to reach under and release the suction cup, then toss the barnacle into the street and drive away.

Park where you're supposed to and no problems. But that's bullshit, so are the boots, and towing, fucking with people's vehicle in any way. Issue a fine if they don't pay the fine they can't renew their registration, or licenses. Don't need any stupid assed schemes to bilk people out of their money right now.

1. If I frequently parked on the street in a hellhole that used these, I'd investigate something like those "tear-off" films used on racing windshields and helmets.
2. This device is a complete waste of time if the cost to remove it is more than ~$250.

Just start the car and turn your heat and defrost on.
Once the gas trapped in the suction cups expands it'll just pop loose. |

pay parking (outside or private places) is absolute bullshit. Yup, fuck em. Taxes already pay for the streets. Pay parking is just another form of taxation. I never pay meters so every few years I get a ticket which is cheaper than I would have paid feeding meters all the time. |

I am sure if they put one on at 5 AM and it was 40 degrees out, then the temp went up to 75/80 during the day, it would stay on. |
