Strange how a chalk mark is illegal, but placing a ticket under the windshield wiper, or sticking a "vehicle to be towed" sticker on the window isn't. To add:

To add: I'd personally much rather local LEOs use the chalk method than the camera method.
- SilasX 7y agoIn fairness, the argument is about what you can do to a car before you have evidence of wrongdoing, and the sticker/tickets happen after they have observed an infraction, so that's less problematic in the context of the ruling. Edit: >To add: I'd personally much rather local LEOs use the chalk method than the camera method. Me too!
- vanniv 7y agoThe ticket is legal, because by the time you get the ticket, they know you've committed the offense. The chalk is only illegal because they have to mark your car before you've overstayed, and at that time, the search is unreasonable, since they're just assuming that you're going to overstay.
