Is Parking Meter Fairy A Criminal?
Plugging Other People's Meters Illegal
A man wearing a pink tutu and fairy wings was spotted feeding coins into parking meters in downtown Portland
Thursday, but city officials say that it's illegal.
Portland parking Inspector 61told KOIN 6 News that the city wants turnover and
new customers for merchants, and that won't happen when the parking fairy or
anybody else feeds a meter beyond its posted time limit.
Motorists will get an overtime parking ticket if inspectors decide that you have
been visited by the parking fairy.
Driving away from a metered space to another is also illegal, unless it's more than
500 feet away.
