.Oakland Cracks Down on Parking Scofflaws

Failure to pay your parking tickets is now a lot more expensive in Oakland. Starting this morning, the city plans to affix a “Smart Boot,” to the cars of people who fail to pay their parking tickets, making it the first in California to use the device. But getting the boot removed may cost hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars. Motorists not only must pay off their parking tickets, but they have to fork out a $140 fee to the company that owns Smart Boot, along with a $175 processing fee to the city — plus a credit card processing fee that is based on how many parking tickets you have, the Chron reports.
