It seems that Obama may have a bone or two to pick with the Cambridge Police Department.

Back in 2007 it was discovered that while attending Harvard Law School, President Obama received over 17 parking tickets from the Cambridge Police Department. He finally paid them 15 years later after beginning his run for President.

“Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama got more than an education when he attended Harvard Law School in the late 1980s. He also got a healthy stack of parking tickets, most of which he never paid.

The Illinois senator shelled out $375 in January — two weeks before he officially launched his presidential campaign — to finally pay for 15 outstanding parking tickets and their associated late fees.

The story was first reported Wednesday by The Somerville News.

Obama received 17 parking tickets in Cambridge between 1988 and 1991, mostly for parking in a bus stop, parking without a resident permit and failing to pay the meter, records from the Cambridge Traffic, Parking and Transportation office show.

He incurred $140 in fines and $260 in late fees in Cambridge in all”

Seems Gates is not the only one who thinks he’s above the law because of privilege, position or race.

Who’s stupid now?
