Black Ford Focus is easy to see in the stream of cars thanks to the huge yellow rhombuses with the inscription "Mobile video control." One of these cars meets me at the Novoslobodskaya metro station.
Parkon
Seeing that the parking lot has passed your car, you can still avoid the penalty by rearranging the car. Violation is counted only after the second fixation.

“Everyone looks at your car with caution,” I say to the young man who meets me. “Why don't you disguise yourself?”
- And from whom shall we hide? Let them be afraid! - replies Mikhail Kashcheev, a leading specialist of the Center for Organization of Traffic (DPC).
We sit down in the car, and for us begins the usual day of a data center employee. We will drive along the route No. 21 - Armory Lane.
Parkon
Parkon consists of two parts - a latch that recognizes car numbers, and a navigation module that calculates the coordinates of the vehicle. It turns out that in order to catch the intruder, you need to fix him twice in the same place, and with an interval of at least five minutes. However, usually this interval is 10-15 minutes - this takes an average detour of one route, this is still without traffic jams. So if you suddenly saw that a parcon was driving past your car, you still have the opportunity to avoid a fine by moving it to another place.
One car per shift records about a hundred violators. We drove along the route only one circle and already spotted a dozen improperly standing cars. The “fattest” points among the employees of the data center are Petrovka, Sretenka, Lubyanka and Prospect Mira.
Route Map
Parkons work from 8 am to 8 pm, so at night you can not be afraid for the abandoned car. But in the daytime, slipping away from the all-seeing eye of the law is extremely difficult.
“Even if the license plate is very dirty, the device will be able to recognize it in 90% of cases,” says Mikhail. - If you still do not recognize it, you can remove it and bring it close to the sign - it’s also mobile. It’s also pointless to stick numbers during parking - we’ll come, unfasten and fix.
So far, only owners of cars registered in other regions can not be afraid of parkons, until they are sent fines.
There are only 10 parkons in Moscow now, and they run mainly within the Garden Ring, but by the beginning of next year the number of cars with mobile fixation complexes will increase to hundreds, and they will cover the whole city, including Butovo and Zelenograd.

To the question whether the number of parking violators has generally decreased since April, when the black Foci began their work, Mikhail Kashcheev answered with a smirk: “Not really yet. But from July 1, people will feel draconian fines and realize that a paid parking space will cost them less.”
