Sure enough, the ticket was on record for someone else&#8217;s plate, with a &#8220;P&#8221; where the &#8220;D&#8221; should have been, due to sloppy handwriting on the ticket.  The same thing happened to me a few months ago, when a traffic officer had left off one letter of my license plate on the ticket (which I never should have gotten anyway, but that&#8217;s another story&#8230;).  I never paid that ticket, and I&#8217;m not going to pay this one, either.  Is that wrong?  Probably, but is it too much to expect that if they&#8217;re going to be draconian about their ticketing policies that they at least use good penmanship?  I wonder how many tickets go unpaid because they aren&#8217;t made out to the right license plate?  Most people probably pay them out of hand, without checking, but I feel like beating them at their own game of sneakiness, technicalities, and loopholes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone needs to give the Cambridge Parking Authority some handwriting lessons.
