Good as gold.

When it comes to keeping the patronage-driven Philadelphia Parking Authority off your back, what's better than FOP plates or a press parking placard?

Well duh. Obviously a placard noting that you're a big wheel in the Democratic machine. This one was spotted in a press parking spot outside City Hall. Needless to say it had not been ticketed.

    thats an outrage. also an outrage, however, is the free parking the press gets all over town, and how no one in city hall wants to stand up to the press to stop giving them unlimited free press parking placards. i guess we won't be reading that article, however.

    Get a clue! FOP and Firefighter license plates DO get ticketed by PPA. Guess having a Press Parking plate gives you immunity.

    yea and if you live in south philly on the east side of broad st you get a ticket if your not parked 20' from the corner ,could you image that if we didnt park close to the corner there would be 5000 cars driving the streets 24/7 its a law that was put on the books when there were three cars on the street not to mention the handicap spots 4to 6 on each street and guess what there not really handicapped how wonderful is that?? get a note from a doctor and wham instant parking (they should be thrown in jail) and then they have the nerve to put cones in the spot when there out .meter maids your a bunch of idiots !! but stay away from the west side youll be transfered to north philly god for bid
