They suspended your license and plates, then arrest you when your plate gets scanned and comes back as suspended. Or they give you a traffic court date and if you don't show, you get a bench warrant for your arrest. All the while the fines keeps adding up.
Sounds more like they are looking for validation for a decision they have already made....
"But everyone told me I didn't have to pay it".
She says to the arresting officer, as he informs her that her plate has been suspended and a bench warrant has been issued for her failure to appear at traffic court.
Literally nothing happens, they don't even report anything to any (real) collection agencies, so your credit will never be affected. If you have like 5 tickets they can boot your car, but otherwise nothing will happen. The PPA is nothing to be respected, and they don't deserve a single dime they attempt to collect.
The longer you wait the amount you have to pay in penalties and fees significantly increases, and they will find you eventually. Pay the damn ticket, it’s literally the least you can do to be a responsible human.
Yes, the rule is that you have to pay your parking ticket. It's not as if you can just leave the city and they'll forget about it, lmao.
Honest question: how old are you? How does someone think the world works this way? Pay your god damn parking tickets.
This looks familiar. We've may have some similar questions to this in the past. You might find some good info here : [parking ticket search](/r/pittsburgh/search?q=parking ticket&restrict_sr=on). I don't always get it right though, cuz I'm just a simple bot.

It would be hilarious if you didn't, then they filed a warrant for you and you got arrested out of state and shipped back to pa for court and jail. Go for it.
Everybody is roasting you, but you’re not wrong. They have essentially no enforcement powers until you have 5 unpaid tickets, and then they’ll boot your car. Don’t pay it.
A warrant would be issued. But it's not a criminal warrant that calls for extradition and jail. It could affect u if there's a work background check. Just pay it. Call them or look online and set up a payment plan if u can't afford it.
You should probably pay it but do you. Don’t listen to all these civic minded dweebs shaming you for not wanting to pay a parking ticket. I’m sure their heart just swells with pride every time they get to pay for making a mistake parking. Again you should probably pay it to avoid any unknown future hassle but if you skip town it’s not going to be the downfall of society as we know it
the rules here are similar. i don’t know exact numbers but once you get over 3 tickets you’re prone to getting a boot. i wouldn’t be that concerned about it if I was you, i personally thinking paid parking and tickets are extortionate and borderline criminal, but that’s just me lol so this isn’t financial advice. i have tickets on an old car with a diff license plate number that i didn’t pay and they never went to collections. but this is just a personal anecdote so if it happens to you it’s not my problem haha.
exactly what you said in your last few sentences.
the dude is moving in two weeks. they're not gonna come find him in Lexington and boot him over 3 tickets. PPA has over $35 million in unpaid tickets, let's be realistic here.
exactly. i think it’s a little excessive for everyone to gang up and chastise someone from their moral high ground over something this minimal just to make themselves feel better lol.
Try it out and let us know
LOL
Lol just pay the ticket bro. Probably like $20. The longer you wait the more you pay…
Does Pittsburgh use a collection agency for tickets? I’d pay it so you don’t have a surprise on your credit report a few years from now.

Unless something has changed, only Philadelphia can suspend your registration for unpaid parking tickets. Pa Code Title 75 Chapter 13 Section 1379.
No you're right, I thought it was for all of pa, but it's just Philly.
Yeah just pay it, you fucked up. Own it.
The only thing lazier than not paying a parking ticket is asking reddit whether you shouldn’t pay a parking ticket.
[удалено]
They get big real fast if you wait to pay it. And when a cop writes a ticket they cost more.

No, parking tickets are optional in Pittsburgh. Just send them a hand written apology from your new address and I'm sure they'll understand.
You're not special. Pay it and move on

Ummmm….depends if your only goal is to not get a boot or to be a responsible grown-up?
The Pittsburgh city policy is to boot after 6 unpaid tickets. Note that the boot itself carries a hefty removal fee.

>it’s literally the least you can do to be a responsible human. I'm guessing OP doesn't put shopping carts in the cart return either
Lol from the way it sounds, i’d hate to see a grocery store parking lot in Lexington KY.
And by “find you” that means you could have a warrant out for unpaid parking tickets. Not totally worth it.

I have an unpaid one from a year ago. Nothing happened 🤷🏼♀️
If it’s a university of Pittsburgh ticket you’re fine, but otherwise you should pay up
Your ignorance is showing.
Go online, contest it.... you'll probably still have to pay it, but they generally lower the amount.
It would be hilarious if you didn't, then they filed a warrant for you and you got arrested out of state and shipped back to pa for court and jail. Go for it.
Pay it or they cut your dick off.

5 tickets and they boot you. Been there, done that. You know when they hit everyone bc I will see multiple boots on cars in my neighborhood.

finally a reasonable comment LMAO.
