should we all get warnings before we get parking tickets?

the campus police called our receptionist this morning looking for one of our doctors. she apparently had parked illegally and was going to be ticketed. bullshit. preferential treatment because she's a doctor?? our receptionist told them that we hadn't seen her today.

since when does anyone get a phone call or a page before they get a ticket? since when does anyone get a chance to move his or her car before receiving a ticket? we have 10,000 employees on our campus; i'm pretty sure there are around 100 parking violations daily. and i'm pretty sure the police do not forewarn them. discrimination. preferential treatment because she was a doctor.

our receptionist called the police back and asked why she was getting a phone call when no one else did. could we all get a phone call before we get a ticket? maybe we didn't realize we were parked illegally?

this doctor was parked on a public street. not even on our campus. maybe it wasn't the campus police who called us? maybe it was the city police? she was parked on a public street facing the wrong way. she has only been in the united states for a few years; maybe she doesn't know you can't park on the side of a street facing traffic? she was parked on a public street, facing the wrong direction, blocking the entrance to a parking lot. i got nothing.
