Cities across America are installing free smart parking meters equipped with license plate readers (LPR).

 

A company called Municipal Parking Service (MPS) has been installing free camera-equipped parking meters in MassachusettsConnecticutNew JerseyFlorida and Canada.

 

Are MPS’s parking meters really free?

 

The answer is yes, sort of.

According to an article in the Lowell Sun, it appears MPS offers cities a number of smart parking meters for a ‘free’ pilot program and then charges them if they decide to use their system.

 

Why would MPS offer cities free smart parking meters?

 

According to MPS’s video, the [third] reason cities should use their meters, is so motorists can pay a ‘small fee’ instead of a larger parking fine if they over-stayed a parking meters time limit.

 

And why would they do that you ask?

 

Because cities can double their existing revenue by using MPS’s parking meters.

 

MPS also charges motorists a 15 cent fee to use their ‘Sentry Mobile Consumer’ app to pay for parking.

 

At approximately 4:00 minutes into the above video, MPS reveals that their ‘Sentry’ parking meters can be used to record criminals or suspicious people. Asking people, and I quote, “wouldn’t it be nice to have a VIRTUAL POLICE OFFICER every forty feet on your sidewalks?”
