Time for Robert Powell and the Dept. to both cough up some money and for Robert Powell to enjoy some time being a Nazi meter maid. There are good cops and then there are those like Robert Powell who make all cops look bad and make a difficult job even more difficult.
Excellent solution. Let Robert Powell write all the tickets he wants while checking those meters for the next few years in the cold and heat of Dallas. I suspect he will find another line of work.
