I thought this was rather interesting. I live near Boston, and there's been a rise in parking tickets there. So the city had decided to try a new program. The program is running from now until Dec. 12th, and states that parking tickets received from Dec. 2-4 can be paid with a toy rather than cash. There are several catches, of course. For starters, the toys must equal the same value as the parking ticket (for example, a $50 ticket can't be paid with a supermarket surprise toy.) or more. The toys also need to be violence free, so no electronic rifles or anything like that. They have to be new and unwrapped, and a receipt must be brought proving that you bought the toy (can't go stealing to pay off a fine, y'know). Here's a link so you don't think I'm making this up: http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/local/BO97808/ Thoughts? I myself think this is a good idea, but I wonder how well it will work and just how many people are actually going to follow those guidelines. Especially for repeat offenders who really rack up the charges.
That is actually a really sweet idea, I hope it works well, it could really be great for kids who don't have much. If people complain, well :/ they shouldn't have ****ed up to get the fine should they xD
yeah, that's a good thing, but some people who didn't pay with money before might not wanna pay with toys instead?
