Parking Ticket for being One Minute Late

I have just received a parking fine for $141.00 for being parked in a loading zone at 3.20PM in a business registered wagon.
The expiry on my ticket was 3.19PM
1 MINUTE!
On arriving back at my car at 3.21PM no ranger was in sight. I can only assume they waited by my car for the clock to tick over, pressed print on the ticket and then ran.
I live and work in the City of Sydney and it is really getting beyond a joke. I hope that the money collected from me (and everyone else) is worth more the to the council than my now complete lack of goodwill towards them.

i totally hear you. i was fined 141 yesterday for the same thing. but the parking ranger was still there. i had to hold back my anger at this otherwise i woulda throttled the guy. and they wonder why parking rangers get assaulted. its because they are scum... i'm so disillusioned my tax dollars go towards activities like this.
