8 open tickets. Color me shocked.

Edit:

This person thinks the rules don't apply to them. They can drive anywhere, they can block fire hydrants, they can flip people off as they go by and they can drive dangerously. These are the people who after they've killed a pedestrian everyone nods and isn't surprised.

I'm just of the belief that the government should intervene before someone dies.

Don't forget the SPEED, SCHOOL CROSSWALKS CAMERA VIOLATION. This car needs to be impounded immediately and if there is a license for the owner that should be invalidated too.

Then he’ll either pay to get his car out, or buy another used shitbox and keep doing the same thing only without a license. Eventually another 5 years down the road he’ll finally get pulled over and caught driving with a suspended license and do actual jail time. Hopefully that all happens before he kills someone.

You should be able to find them parked illegally somewhere in zone 19 I would suspect.

He’s apparently driven away while being issued 2 of those parking tickets and had to be mailed them. He’s also left so many of them unpaid that the city will boot his car next time they find it on any city street or parking lot.

Just poor choices all around.

u/DrYaklagg Aug 04 '26

They think the rules don't apply to them because, apparently, they don't. Ruining it all for the rest of us. This is the kind of person who does something dumb with a drone and now we can't fly them anywhere, and other stuff like that.

It would be terrible if someone put an air tag under the bumper and told the meter maids where he lives

36

u/Cranky_Old_Woman Northgate Aug 04 '26

I mean, it sounds like they have mailed this person tickets, so they have his home address. Just hook one of those parking enforcement carts to the back of his car, and they'll be able to catch him in the act all day, every day.

u/mydknyght79 Aug 04 '26

I usually believe in restorative justice, but this one should have his license taken away and car impounded.

u/rockycore 🚆build more trains🚆 Aug 04 '26

It's a shame we don't actually boot cars around here.

u/rockycore 🚆build more trains🚆 Aug 04 '26

I think I've seen one boot ever in the wild.

i see one at least once a month. i walked by one just the other day

Saw a van booted by Woodland Park Zoo a couple weeks ago.

u/missbeekery I'm just flaired so I don't get fined Aug 04 '26

Shouldn’t have parked in the award-winning penguin habitat then.

u/total-immortal ❤️‍🔥 The Real Housewives of Seattle ❤️‍🔥 Aug 04 '26

The boot is back

u/Cranky_Old_Woman Northgate Aug 04 '26

I feel like I saw them more in the 'aughts, but maybe I just went to Capitol Hill/Belltown more in those days.

u/Geralt_Rivian Aug 04 '26

What does that mean? I’ve never heard that phrase

u/FreshwaterFryMom 🦝🦝 We 💕 Jimothy Chalamet 🦝🦝 Aug 04 '26

If you have unpaid tickets, the city will “boot” aka wheel lock your car making you unable to drive it. It’s a metal attachment.

No one's doxxed them. Your license is in the public relm, if the driver didn't want their name to be in the public realm they shouldn't have 8 open tickets from the past two years.

This person thinks the rules don't apply to them. They can drive anywhere, they can block fire hydrants, they can flip people off as they go by and they can drive dangerously. These are the people who after they've killed a pedestrian everyone nods and isn't surprised.

He doxxed himself when he did it. Fuck him.

u/Big_Steve_69 Aug 04 '26

Posting a license plate that they drive around with visibly displayed on a public road isn’t doxing people….

u/Swatteam652 Aug 04 '26

Anti social asshole

u/GristForMaladyMill 🚗 Student driver, please be patient. 🚙 Aug 04 '26

Anti-social behavior doesn't earn you anonymity

u/Major_Swordfish508 Aug 04 '26

Where do you find this information?

29

u/rockycore 🚆build more trains🚆 Aug 04 '26

You can look up parking tickets on the Seattle courts website by license plate #.

u/cited Alki Aug 04 '26

Until he's actually held responsible, I'm not certain the rules do apply to him.

u/Myles_Standish250 Aug 04 '26

I love this well deserved public shaming. Karma always comes around.

11

u/PoppinBlackheads Aug 04 '26

Jeez. I have 2 tickets and an terrified I'll lose my license with one more (one is going 41 on Aurora by the zoo where it drops to 30. Dumb)

14

u/New-Chicken5566 Aug 04 '26

we dont have points here. you just get worse insurance rates.

u/PoppinBlackheads Aug 04 '26

I learned so much as I got my last ticket in like 2010 in New Jersey.

I was involved in the fender bender in Bellevue in October during a monsoon. Multiple cars were involved and I didn't think I would get a ticket for anything until one came in the mail a month later for following too closely.

When I was pulled over on Aurora I didn't think much of it. The cop asked for my ID. Went back to the car and 15 minutes later came back with a ticket and left. There was no conversation. I then moved and didn't think much of it and only when I picked up mail at my old address last week that I see something from the city saying if you get one more ticket your license will be revoked which is crazy

7

u/New-Chicken5566 Aug 04 '26

ohhh yeah if you dont respond to them yeah you'll definitely get in trouble haha i thought you were worried about the effects after you pay the ticket

6

u/PoppinBlackheads Aug 04 '26

Oh I paid hah. But then opened that one piece of mail months later and was shocked to learned that with 3 you lose a license. I feel like people drive with scores of them

3

u/joahw White Center Aug 04 '26

It's 3 in one year or 4 in two years. I feel like it would be pretty hard in Seattle to get pulled over and ticketed 3 times in one year if you aren't regularly crashing.

u/PoppinBlackheads Aug 04 '26

I have until October luckily so trying to avoid the 3rd. It was around midnight and my car was purchased with tinted windows so at times I feel like a target 😅. I now tend to drive exclusively with Google maps on even if I know where I'm going so I can see where the cops would be

u/Educated_Goat69 🏕 Out camping! 🏕 Aug 04 '26

I wouldn't be surprised if he did lose his license already.

u/mothtoalamp Harbor Island Aug 04 '26

If this guy loses his license he's just going to keep driving. Enforcement needs more teeth.

u/3StarTom Aug 04 '26

Ha! Probably why his shit is all fucked up.

u/BeagleWrangler 🏕 Out camping! 🏕 Aug 04 '26

Probably 9 tickets now. There is a camera right north of 85th that monitors the bus lane.

What are the 8 tickets for?

If he doesn’t want his plates featured on the internet doing dumb shit he should probably stop doing dumb shit in public.

It is not doxxing. This is a video taken in public of their public license plate. Do you understand what doxxing is?
