This New Mobile App Automatically Fights Your Parking Tickets

Fighting Big Government One App At A Time

appSAN FRANCISCO, CA – A new mobile application has been released that helps people automatically fight their parking tickets. Named “Fixed,” the app simplifies the process of appealing a ticket by cutting out most of the work that needs to be done and gives average citizens a powerful tool to help fight big government on the local level.

The application was reportedly developed after the co-founder David Hegarty was trying to fight four parking tickets at the same time, only to find two more on his car when he got back. This gave him the idea that there would be significant demand for an automated process which he set out to conquer with David Senghera and DJ Burdick. 

The app works like this: When you get a ticket, snap a picture of it with your mobile phone. Fill out some basic information and then the application can contest the ticket on your behalf. The application will then do some computing and tell you what the chances are that you might be able to get it dismissed. The app also encourages you to gather more photographic evidence in order to bolster your case.

Sound easy? That’s because it is.

Fixed will supplement your evidence with any additional information, including the slope of the street if you receive a “wheels not curbed” violation and the app will even prepare your contest letter and handle your correspondence with the courts.

Here’s the best part of the whole application: If you contest the ticket and lose, you will end up paying nothing to Fixed. But if you win, you’ll pay to them 25% of the cost of the ticket. Sounds fair, right?

Hegarty thinks there’s definitely a chance that governments are going to get ticked off if they’re successful. “They’ve seen parking fines as a cash cow that they milked from motorists,” Hegarty says. “If we start helping the motorist fight back, we don’t know how they’ll react.” Hopefully local governments would just nuke Fixed with some law like “only you and your lawyer may contest tickets on your behalf.”

The application is currently only available in San Francisco but the developers are planning on taking it nationwide. Sounds like one of the greatest new tools to fight big government since the invention of the flintlock musket!
