"... including a building, ground, public conveyance, vessel or bridge and is intended to or designed to be inserted into a box or machine for the collection of fees or given to a collector."
To White, named a "super lawyer" in Baltimore Magazine, prosecutors "picked a statute that doesn't fit." A parking pass cannot under this language be considered a token, nor is anything inserted in a box, and there's never anyone around to collect the proceeds.
But Polk, the prosecutor, told me that her reading of the law is that a token is a ticket, and a parking pass "is a ticket as defined in the statute." The streets covered by the permit can be considered the "ground" or "public conveyance," and the Parking Authority would be the "collector."
