UBC parking security ticket asshats.

when do they stop working? they do the regular 8-5? is there a night shift?

if i park there for night class do they hand out tickets?

all info is appreciated, and im sure all other ubc goers will appreciate it as well.

i've noticed if u park in non parking lots.. like faculty parking lots that are reserved and more hidden at night, they almost never get checked... well never get checked as far as i've been caught.

anyways info is appreciated.

i know motorcycles get away parking at.. everywhere haha.

i got a ticket @ the little lot behind hairy anus once at 6:55pm last semester (may/june)

in fact i just parked at starbucks near the comp-sci building right now without paying. from 6pm-now (730), no one has checked.

i had a class that goes from 7-9pm. so i parked at the b-lot close to the rose garden and i got ticketed once

A judge has found that UBC has been unlawfully issuing parking tickets since 1990 and has ordered that more than $4 million in fines be paid back to thousands of violators.

In 2006 B.C. Supreme Court Justice Richard Goepel certified a class-action lawsuit on the issue after representative plaintiff Daniel Barbour filed suit against the university.

Barbour, a Vancouver chartered accountant, was angry when his two-door Jaguar was impounded after he left it in a parking lot on Wesbrook Mall on the UBC campus.

He was legally parked at the time but was ordered to pay $200 to get his car back after the university alleged he’d violated the parking regulations on at least one other occasion.

Up until the start of the trial, UBC argued that the parking fines were lawfully collected under the University Act but then admitted that the scheme was illegal.

It then submitted that there were “private law justifications” for the regulations, but in a ruling released Monday, Goepel said that those arguments were not sufficient to uphold the fines.

The judge said that UBC retains the power to remove vehicles that are improperly parked and to recover costs incurred, but he noted that in most cases the fines are far in excess of the damage caused to UBC by the miscreant parker, and said that those penalized trusted that UBC had the power to impose the fines.

“There is something fundamentally unfair that those good citizens should not recover the money that UBC had no right to collect in the first place,” he said in ordering restitution.

“I’m extremely pleased,” said Barbour. “The court has recognized that UBC has been unlawfully collecting fines and unlawfully towing cars solely because people had unpaid tickets. The court has found that those are both illegal activities.”

Barbour added that he likes the university but “they have to stop this particular practice. I certainly know professors out at UBC, students out at UBC, and they’ve all had their cars towed in this sort of fashion. And they’ve been rooting me on.”

Sharon Matthews, Barbour’s lawyer, said there were still several issues to be determined, including setting up a system for people to come forward to be paid.

Court heard that from January 1990 to December 2005, a total of 432,847 traffic tickets were issued and more than half remain unpaid. From September 2000 to March 2006, violation notices were issued to 115,456 licence plates. Only 20 per cent of violators were responsible for nearly half of the violation notices.

fucked up thing is they can still tow you.

Parking in the Cheeze lot is now more dangerous :( .

I've been parking in B lot all semester without a pass without a single ticket.
Now within the last week i've received two.

To my knowledge after the third ticket you get a wheel lock.

So i'm getting my plates changed today to park up there tomorrow instead just to be safe lol.

One ticket was like 10:45 AM, one was 6:45 PM (I was late like 3 minutes to get to my car for this one lol )

edit: just realized this is for UBC LOL
