NY parking tickets pile up on van with dead driver

[Ace Boobtoucher]

A man's decomposing body inside a minivan covered in parking tickets went undiscovered for weeks because the vehicle's windows were apparently tinted and ticketing officers don't normally search cars, police said Friday.

I guess the smell never alerted the meter maids to his presence. I wonder if his family will have to pay the fines.

Why would they give him so many tickets without towing him?

That's just irresponsibility and negligence on behalf of the fucking meter maids. So what if your fucking job description doesn't include looking inside vehicles? Is it against union rules to find out where a foul stench is coming from, especially when you see that the fucking windows are covered with tickets? They really should make common sense a job requirement for public employees.

Fortunately is was just a dead body and not something more sinister intended to do harm inside.

If he would have stayed in there a little longer he would have looked like Dr. Death driving around his Deathmobile.

You would think after about 5-10 tickets, someone would have looked into it instead of just adding more to the pile.

This just shows how STUPID many people really are these days
