The city of Keene, N.H., is suing “Robin Hood and his Merry Men” — a group that has made a name for itself by paying people’s parking meters before they can get slapped with a ticket from local parking enforcement officers.

When they find one, the pay the meet and slip cards under a windshield wiper that says: “Your meter expired; however, we saved you from the king’s tariffs, Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Please consider paying it forward.”

“Besides following me, crowding around me, making video recordings of my activities, and placing coins in expired meters to prevent me from writing tickets, these individuals repeatedly taunt and harass me, asking why I am stealing peoples’ money and telling me to get another job,” the officer said.

    I think it is insulting that they used the term "officer" when referring to a meter maid.

    Anyone who spent time in Lake Geneva during PJ20 would have appreciated a group like Robin Hood and his merry men.

    I didn't know taunting was crime. Unless you're in the NFL.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    And we should, as a society, be collectively shaming those who chose a profession that ruins people's days.
