If you're a Somerville resident with a parking permit and your car is parked in a legal spot, that should be end of story.

I hope this is the case now.

I won't wax poetic about an old tenant of my mom's, (maybe 4 yrs ago), who originally came up from S.Carolina, and had SC plates, but was parked LEGALLY in front of the house, with a LEGAL resident permit clearly placed on the windshield, but still got a whopping $125 ticket for non-resident parking.

Yeah, I won't bother going on about that one.
