They can't keep up with the volume of folks fighting the "Infraction Notices" their agents issue Lol! So rather than issue fewer notices and lose the income they are stealing from folks, a Parking Enforcement Officer gets to decide whether folks are guilty by issuing a "Penalty Notice".
Whether folks meet with a municipal employee or a Justice seems to me to be a minor distinction since both are biased and both are equally as incompetent. :/
