New Hampshire (USA) revolt against traffic wardens

[21C101]

"For years, groups of Keene residents known as “Robin Hooders” have walked the streets filling expired parking meters with their own money, in order to save people from getting parking tickets."

This appears to have so enraged the council that they appear to have sued them for lost parking fine revenue...

"In 2013....the city government filed a pair of lawsuits against six Keene activists accused of organizing many of the Robin Hood efforts.

The initial lawsuit would prevent the activists from getting within 30 feet of one of the parking enforcers, while a second lawsuit sought monetary damages."

Simple solution if Keene council wants to stop it happening is to replace the coin operated parking meters with card only operated parking meters.

Would also save them money (and time) without dealing with loose change.

But it's America where you can sue anybody for anything, even if it's completely ridiculous (didn't a media company once try and sue someone for something stupid like one trillion dollars for losses by file sharing?)
