The Parking Cop Cop

Parking tickets are an unfortunate part of life for people living in major cities. There are a number of parking apps available for users to pin their car’s location on a map or set a meter time alert, but one app developer has improved on the typical parking app with an incredible new feature: tracking the cops writing parking tickets.

The Parking Cop Cop app allows users to report sightings of a meter maid or parking inspector in a specific area, and automatically sends a warning to other users with cars parked in that area to check their time and try to beat a ticket. With enough users reporting sightings, the parking inspector’s trajectory can be predicted and tracked over time.

The Developer describes his app as “community action against the parking authorities”, all for less than the price of a cup of coffee. Anyone who has gotten a parking ticket knows this app will pay for itself with one save!
