You’d think District employees would be on their best behavior these days now that the entire city is having an even harder time trusting them than normal. At the very least, you’d imagine the driver of city vehicle 96 5734 would realize that just about everyone is walking around with a camera, and if you park somewhere illegally, someone is going to notice – possibly even someone who’s going to send their photos in to DCist.

Thanks to DCist reader Chris, who sent in these photos from his phone, noting: “as a dc resident who is frequently ticketed by meter maids who seem to come out of nowhere, i could not resist taking this shot. its a camera phone pic, so its not the best quality, but we all get the idea.”

Vaguely NSFW version of the photo after the jump.
