We have one of these in San Francisco. I got an advertisement on my windshield along with my ticket, funny enough. Brilliant advertising. I signed up immediately.

Now I don't even need to scan my ticket in the app. It searches court records and auto-appeals for me.

Plot twist: meter maids make extra cash advertising for Fixed.

This seems like a huge conflict of interest. The meter maids are essentially being paid "extra" for every ticket they write now. How is this not the equivalent of a meter maid not writing you a ticket if you give them some cash?

Yep. I couldn't be bothered to grab my phone and properly link it, thanks. My phone is way over there <points to the other side of the desk>.
