Team Of ‘Robin Hoods’ Feeds Parking Meters, Gets Sued

The city of Keene, New Hampshire claims that the problem isn’t the “Robin Hood” brigade of people who feed parking meters in the city in order to save drivers from tickets. No, they can fill meters with coins all day long and the city government claims that it won’t mind. The problem, claims the city, is that the merry band of meter-feeders are harassing and stressing out all three parking enforcement officers and being nuisances while they save residents from tickets. So the city has sued them.
Group members have harassed parking enforcement officers while they were off the clock, the city manager claims. In a letter that ran in the Keene Sentinel over the weekend, he called the Robin Hood movement “a six-month campaign of pursuit and intimidation of the city’s parking enforcement officers with the stated intention of eliminating their employment.”

When you interfere with the revenue stream of the state, you'll be lucky not to eventually get beaten to death by the armed enforcers of the state. For "hindering", or "obstructing justice", or, God help you "resisting", or some other made up BS. And if ANYONE is harrassed and intimidated, its the drivers who can actually watch these wanna-be cops standing next to a meter -- waiting for the last two minutes to expire. And won't give a break, even to drivers who are walking out of a store and ready to leave (seconds after the meter expires). Its not about the "law", or "fairness", or "justice". It is ALL about the state grabbing every dollar they can, in every way they can, with every method available, from every citizen still fogging a mirror. Keep cheering....
