Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1371036, member: 716"] I had this happen when I lived in the District. It's an unethical way of raising revenue, for sure. My building had no off-street parking and my car had New York tags (but a D.C. visitor's pass on the dash, given to me at the local precinct). I came back after a long weekend to find no car in front of my building. A thoroughly frustrating time at the DMV, a $40 cab ride to Blue Plains (truly the most far-flung and transit-inaccessible location within District boundaries), and something like a $400 impound fee later, I got my car back. And no infraction had taken place, but they still insisted on taking my money in exchange for my car. I'm getting infuriated just remembering this. But I didn't call anyone "babygirl" or make disparaging comments about a service-industry employee's teeth or weight. (And I'm not even the nicest or most reasonable person...I just know that that'd be a rotten way to treat someone.) [/QUOTE]
