Low Collection Rate Challenge

A Team 4 investigation revealed Pittsburgh does little to collect on tens of thousands of unpaid parking tickets. This enforcement inconsistency may support laches or selective enforcement challenges.

Legal basis

Equal protection; Laches

Sample appeal wording

I am challenging Citation #[TICKET#] on grounds of inconsistent enforcement. Investigations have revealed that Pittsburgh fails to collect on tens of thousands of tickets. Selectively pursuing my citation while ignoring others raises equal protection concerns. I request dismissal.

Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
