When I was a kid in the 50s and early 60s, the town of DeFuniak Springs would not give you a ticket if someone was in the car. You could also leave a nickel in the slot and he would turn it for you.
The fine was only 25 cents and it was on the honor system.

My wife is from Defuniak Springs...small world. We live in Georgia now (my home state).
