Shimon Lefkowitzs Is Very Frustrated He Fed The Meter And Still Got Ticketed, Because Of Being Net To A Pedestrian Path

"I'm not the angry type, but I was so incensed because it wasn't necessary," said Lefkowitz who got slapped with a $165 summons while shopping.

"This is very, very frustrating. I did the right thing," Lefkowitz said. "I fed the meter. Why would they have a meter next to a pedestrian path?"

Lefkowitz said a testy traffic agent ticketed his vehicle "She didn't even look at me the whole time she wrote the ticket," said Lefkowitz, "I asked her to get a supervisor but she brushed me off, "Her whole attitude was 'that's it,' and she drove off."

It's becoming both confusing and expensive for Brooklyn motorists to park. In May 2004, it was uncovered a similar meter blunder in Park Slope, where drivers were getting $115 tickets for parking too close to fire hydrants, even though they were in a legally metered spot.
