In addition to what those guys said, please be courteous to the Community Service Officers or "meter maids". They are the people in the light brown shirts that will be walking around issuing parking tickets. 99% of them are nice people, but the two guys running the parking enforcement department are the ones who are the aholes. They have a job to do, and they know they are pretty much the most hated people on campus, but they have to write the tickets. There is no "quota" as to the number of tickets they have to write, but if they dont issue the tickets, the bosses will find other officers who will. Besides, they are the eyes and ears for the police department. If you get in trouble or need the police, their dispatcher is also the police dispatcher. Thus you can sometimes get help quicker. Also, it doesnt work to try and alter the pass, or do any other schemes to get around paying for parking. You will get caught, and the fines can and probably will be more than if you had just paid for the sticker or took the parking fine. You would not believe some of the things I saw. Just remember, at some schools, you cant park within 2-3 blocks of the campus, even with a parking pass. No matter how bad the parking may seem at NT, its alot worse at other schools.
