Creative new way to get out of paying parking fines:
Kimberly Du of Iowa wanted to avoid paying her parking tickets. So much so that she faked her own death to avoid paying the $500 fine. Du went so far as to write her own phoney obituary, made to look like a page from The Des Moines Register’s website. She also forged a letter telling a judge that she had died in a car crash.
Wouldn’t there have been a police report for the car crash? Especially if it resulted in someone’s death? Perhaps criminal charges if another driver were involved? I guess the judge didn’t check on the letter or the obituary because Du was caught one month later when she received another parking ticket. I’ve heard of zealous traffic police, but ticketing the dead is taking it too far. 🙂
Du now faces up to five years in prison for fraud.
