Winnipeg Council Pauses Photo-Based Parking Ticketing Proposal
5.0
Winnipeg's public works committee voted on Monday to direct staff not to pursue a proposal to issue some parking tickets based on photos submitted by the public. The 2-1 vote, led by Coun. Janice Lukes and Coun. Markus Chambers, followed concerns about confrontations, image manipulation and the need for officer review. The full council will consider the matter later.
