Parking Violation

A parking violation occurs when a motor vehicle is parked in a restricted or unauthorized location, such as blocking a highway or road, though roadside parking is often allowed within specific restrictions. Violations are typically documented with a traffic ticket issued by a police officer or another government official, and the resulting fines generate revenue for municipalities. A parking ticket can also incidentally aid criminal investigations, as when the New York Police Department used a parking ticket on serial killer David Berkowitz's car to help identify and arrest the offender known as the Son of Sam.
