> Is it enforced? No. But technically, it's there.

In California we have the same law, and it is certainly enforced, usually at the behest of nosy neighbors who have nothing else to do.

It's probably the same here -- it's enforced extremely selectively and only because they're tired of getting the complaint for the dozenth time.

To verify, they usually have to mark your tires to check you haven't moved the car in the 72 hours (you could've just parked in the same place), so it usually requires two outcalls to even issue a ticket. That's a lot of work when you're anywhere outside of the downtown core where that initial call could be done as part of other work.
