Back in the nineties, my brother was harrassed about a supposed parking ticket he got on his truck, supposedly parked in Alexandria, Virginia. He'd never parked in Alexandria, and certainly hadn't been there at the time the supposed parking violation occurred. It got to the point where they were threatening to garnish his wages. He finally got it straight, but not until he'd been through hours of phone calls, registered letters, etc. Some meter maid must have transposed a license plate number.
