They're finally taking the warrants out of the box.

The box that warrants for code violations and parking tickets have allegedly been piling up in at the City of Coatesville Police Department for more than a year.

I have been saying and writing that you could expose code violations on "See Click Fix" and our Coatesville Codes Officers could issue code violations and nothing could happen because the warrants would not be served. Few people paid any attention to it, most likely because they don’t understand the State Constable system in Pennsylvania.

For reasons unknown Chester County Common Pleas Court Judge MacElree stopped Chester County from paying State Constables on February 9, 2011. 

I wrote about this on February 15, 2011:

It was not just codes violations. Until now paying a parking ticket was on the honor system. Warrants for overdue parking tickets were also allegedly in a box at the City of Coatesville PD.
