TAPS also stands for Transportation and Parking Services, an evil organization of ticket fairies which hands out tickets on the campus of UC Davis Adding to the tradition of the Davis police, they are evil and enjoy tricking people into getting tickets. They are in league with the kiosk at the front of campus... the kiosk will tell you where you supposedly can park and then taps will give you a ticket for parking there. I bet the kiosk radios them every time they have a 'customer'. Another favorite trick is seemingly randomly varying which booths sell tickets every day, so that if you go to the wrong parking lot you are late for class.. And despite their obvious incompetence, they want to be allowed to drive and park your car for you in their worthless stack parking program. So, I just ride my bike the 2 miles to campus... they will touch my truck over my dead body...
