The MNPD Fraud Unit is advising the community to be aware of fake parking tickets appearing in the Midtown Hills area of Nashville. The fraudulent tickets are designed to look like official Metro Nashville Parking citations and claim that the vehicle has been illegally parked, requiring payment of a fine.
Legitimate MNPD and NDOT parking tickets have a consistent appearance, as shown in the attached example. Fines for these tickets should only be paid online through the Circuit Court Clerk Traffic Violations Bureau.
