r/news – A Virginia Man Visited Friends in Boston – Now he Must Register His Car Here or Lose His License

If the car was parked like a douche and you wanted it gone, maybe.

Also, I don’t know if Boston has these, but my city has “residential on-street parking” spots that are technically available for anyone from the neighbourhood to use (each resident gets a permit specific to their neighbourhood). Many houses don’t have driveways, so people get used to using the residential parking spot in front of their house 90% of the time. So if you find someone took “your” spot one day, you’ll find any reason to get them towed.
