RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR)--The City of Richmond gives out thousands of parking tickets every year.

Over the past three years, Richmond has collected more than $13 million from parking tickets.

"It's just mind-blowing," said downtown business owner George Copeland, whose car is full of parking tickets.

Copeland just opened a new business in downtown Richmond. Since then, he’s racked up more than $400 in parking tickets.

There are parking meters and parking signs all over the city, but you are more likely to get a ticket in certain areas.

You might be surprised. Then again, maybe you've collected your fair share of green citations.

In fact, half of the 10 blocks in Richmond where you are most likely to get a ticket are located downtown.
