Get Your Tickets Fixed

摘要

The history of liberty has largely been the history of the observance of procedural safeguards." When U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter wrote those words in 1943, he probably didn't have Glen Bolofsky in mind. Frankfurter was talking about an unfair murder rap, not a parking violation. But Bolofsky seems to have taken the jurist to heart For 21 years he has helped motorists find loopholes and technicalities to beat what he considers one of the most oppressive, arbitrary regimes on the planet the New York City Parking Violations Bureau. "What we're about is freedom," says the 48-year-old accountant, who runs his company out of a cramped office in Paramus, N.J. "The freedom to drive into the city park your car and not get ticketed or towed."
