Man May Lose Home For Unpaid $50 Parking Ticket
Here is a pretty sad story. At first I had little sympathy for this idiot who did not pay a fifity dollar ticket and let it snowball to about $2500.
However if you read the entire article and see the complete circumstances it is very sad.

Re: Man May Lose Home For Unpaid $50 Parking Ticke
This is so true!
"Judge Sankovitz called the case a shame and said it demonstrates the need for judges to have authority to appoint attorneys for people involved in civil litigation.
"If you were a criminal, we'd take care of the whole problem for you, get you an attorney," he said. "But if you're involved in civil litigation - in jeopardy of losing your house or your family . . . what we do is make you go out and find your own attorney.
"If we gave people the help they needed near the beginning of their problem, their problems wouldn't snowball the way they do.""

Re: Man May Lose Home For Unpaid $50 Parking Ticke
The really sad thing about it is that it wasn't even a neighbor who complained about his van in the driveway with no tag on it. It was his own brother who didn't even live there!
This all happened at a time when this poor psycho guy's dad had just died and his mother was dying of cancer.
He couldn't get the licesne plate on the van until he could get the emissions tested and he couldn't drive the van to get the emssions tested until he got the broken radiator fixed and he didn't have the money to do that.

That was my firrst thought and it is true. However when you read further this guy has mental problems, physical problems, his dad and mom who were living with him both died rightin the middle of this, and the van in questoin was broken so he could not drive it to get the emissions test needed to get a license plate to put on it. That is why he ketp getting more and more tickets for not getting it done.

I'm betting that since this story was made public that there will be someone that will come to the rescue. I sure hope someone does.
