Camera clock delay led to ticket errors

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13 (UPI) -- San Francisco transport officials said more than 500 drivers received erroneous tickets due to incorrect times on parking cameras.

Officials said 17 of the bus-mounted cameras, which are designed to spot illegally parked cars, were not adjusted for daylight saving time, causing a 1-hour difference between when the cars were parked and the time reflected on the cameras, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday.

The Municipal Transportation Agency is working to reimburse those affected by the error, which was spotted by officials at the end of June.
