Parkeriff on vandalism tour: false parkers in Vienna threatened

Von WOM

An unconventional form of parking space monitoring is currently causing excitement in the Vienna Alsergrund. A stranger is targeting false parkers and takes the matter into his own hands. Instead of trusting the official regulatory services, this self -proclaimed “parking thermiff” uses a drastic method: he sprays cars with spray pack to mark them and to shake the owners.

in a city where parking is often a hot topic, this "parking torch" treats false parkers like criminals. The punishments in the form of colorful paint drawings are drastic and should feel like a slap in the face for every driver. Regardless of the legal framework, this incident shows how frustrated some citizens are about the parking behavior of other people.

Who is behind the "Parkeriff"?

So far it is unclear who is behind these actions. It is an anonymous actor who has not legitimized itself from the official side. Such self -justice can be legally problematic, because damage to property is not only morally questionable, but could also bring criminal consequences. Nevertheless, there is obviously support from residents who see the deeds as a creative solution to a problem that they often burden themselves.

The effects of these actions are multi -layered. On the one hand, the visible punishment of false parkers could cause drivers possibly rethink their behavior. On the other hand, however, the question is also raised how parking violations in an urban environment should be dealt with. Instead of reacting properly, self -justice is used, and that could ultimately lead to a further escalation.

Such a development in Vienna shows how tense the parking situations in popular urban areas can be. If the authority does not act fast enough, this type of vigilante justice could spread further.
