Poor Scott Larsen.

All he wanted to do was pay for his parking downtown on the first day of $5 per hour meter rates.

While he’s paying for his parking at the paybox, an NBC 5 camera crew walked up to interview him and ask him for his thoughts on the new, higher meter rates.

Unfortunately, a Traffic Management Aide (TMA), despite being waved down and alerted by Larsen that he’s trying to pay for his parking, writes him a ticket.

And it’s all caught on video by NBC 5.

I guess there’s a new law on the books against talking to the media while paying for parking.

Enjoy!

Thanks to Alex and others for the tip.
