The city of Keene, N.H., has had enough of a group of Free State activists who feed parking meters to help fellow citizens avoid tickets and is suing the group, alleging they harass parking enforcement cops, according to a news report.
Freed from Parking Tickets
After several years of simply feeding the random parking meter to save a fellow citizen from a parking ticket, Robin Hood of Keene members took the idea to whole new level about six months ago, says Ian Freeman, a blogger at FreeKeene.com and talk show host for FreeTalkLive.
