Stealing from community/government coffers is not entrepreneurial. Just because a tax-evasion scheme is clever, that doesn't make it entrepreneurial.

Well the transferring of a ticket from one vehicle to another is not (to my mind) particularly amoral. After all the space has been paid for. By forbidding transfers the council effectively get paid twice for the space when someone leaves early. Maybe this over-lap is built into their business model, but I doubt it. It's free money for them.

I think the problem is the aspect of intimidation. If these guys were to offer to buy the ticket off you in a fair way, they may have a point.

I can assure you that this is not what happens ;-)

True, where I live it's considered polite to put your ticket back on the machine if it has more than an hour or so on it, so the next person can use it.

Fucking hippies! :)

I agree that transferring the passes is not particularly amoral nor should it be illegal, but selling a pass to falsely contest a parking ticket is. That is what the author (mis)labeled entrepreneurial.

I think this demonstrates just how eager people are to conflate the meanings of the word "entrepreneur" with the word "hustler."
