Washington, D.C. has ticketed and towed many cars since the Jonas blizzard. The conditions made it difficult for people to follow normal parking rules. The city used the opportunity to pillage its residents. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"D.C.'s snow emergency will remain in effect through Wednesday at 6:30 p.m., and the city wants drivers to know it's serious about enforcing the parking bans.
Since the blizzard began last Friday, the District has issued $1,078,000 worth of parking tickets and $65,600 in fines so far. It has towed 656 cars.
And until the snow emergency expires, the District will continue to ticket and tow vehicles parked or abandoned on any snow emergency route (PDF), or considered to be road hazards. Crews are trying to plow streets from curb to curb, officials said, and vehicles parked in the way of plows will have to be removed.
Cars parked in a traffic lane on any road that are deemed a hazard or a barrier to snow removal may also be towed.”

Seems like that would be a good excuse in court; "Your honor, there was 30 inches of snow and I couldn't find a parking spot because they didn't plow the streets." -
So where do you put your car if you live in row houses or apt. with no driveway, parking lot, and /or garage?
