Can Postal Workers Park For Free?

A Target 11 investigation discovered that some federal employees devised a way to beat the parking meter system.

That was until Target 11 investigator Rick Earle got involved.

We discovered that some U.S. postal workers were placing make-shift signs with the U.S. postal service in their personal cars and parking at expired meters.

But they weren't delivering mail -- they were going to work.

The day after Earle called the post office, the postmaster informed all postal workers that they shouldn't be using the signs or placards.

The director of the parking authority told Target 11 he's informed all of his officers to check with the supervisor when they encounter a questionable sign.
