That's the equivalent of around nine euros, which, however, has to be taxed.. Send a photo via app, collect money: In Uppsalo, amateurParking.com users can track down parking offenders, take a photo, upload it, wait and collect. If a tip is received, speed is required in order to catch the illegal parker in the act..
