Chicago drivers are getting hammered by brazen parking scams while city leaders look the other way. Hardworking folks just trying to catch a White Sox game or park downtown are getting robbed blind by criminals exploiting weak enforcement. This is what happens when you defund the police and let lawlessness run wild.
Scammers near Rate Field are slapping fake QR codes on parking meters to steal credit card info. Drivers think they’re paying the city, but crooks drain their accounts instead. It’s happening in broad daylight with zero consequences. These aren’t sophisticated hackers – they’re common thieves taking advantage of a city that won’t protect its citizens.
The city’s answer? A ticket debt relief program that lets parking violators off the hook. While regular Americans struggle to make ends meet, Chicago waives fees for deadbeats who ignore parking rules. They’re rewarding bad behavior instead of cracking down on the real criminals. This backwards approach tells scammers they can operate without fear.
Remember the United Center parking racket? Con men in safety vests sold fake permits for years while cops did nothing. Families paid good money only to find $75 tickets on their windshields after games. These scams keep popping up because Chicago prioritizes political correctness over public safety.
Crooks now steal driver data from the DMV to send fake citations. Private parking companies get your info without permission – another invasion of privacy thanks to lax oversight. Your personal information isn’t safe when city hall cares more about woke policies than securing basic records.
While citizens get scammed, Mayor Johnson wastes time on city sticker amnesty programs. Forgiving late fees for bureaucrat-made violations does nothing to stop actual crime. It’s classic Chicago – punish the productive while coddling lawbreakers. The message is clear: crime pays in Democrat-run cities.
This isn’t just about parking tickets. It’s about a collapsing society where respect for the law disappears. When leaders refuse to uphold order, chaos fills the void. Parents shouldn’t have to worry about credit card fraud just to take their kids to a baseball game.
Real Americans want police on the streets, not social workers. They want borders secured, not criminals coddled. Until Chicago wakes up and starts backing the blue instead of BLM, these scams will keep terrorizing honest taxpayers. The rot starts at the top – and it’s time to drain the swamp.
