Readers may have seen the story that Twitter is being used to alert drivers to the location of RIDE programs. The police say this is not illegal but very irresponsible. We agree. But how irresponsible would it be if you got a Tweet that told you that the parking enforcement officer was pulling up on Manor Rd just west of Bayview? Our guess is that most people would think that was just fine. So would we. If anyone felt they needed to act on this information by moving the car, good for them. Now we know that parking enforcement guys move faster than Superman. In fact, the sheer pace of these speed-walking tax collectors is an important part of what makes the issuing of so many tickets possible. When will a Tweet Ticket Tipoffs network begin? TTT is legal and practical. Your customers will thank you.
