What's a Barnacle? It's yellow, sticks and screams if you try to pry it off your car

The University of Regina is using Barnacles for persistent parking fine offenders, with a private company in Ontario also utilizing the device.
The Barnacle uses strong suction cups with over 450 kilograms of force on the windshield if fines are still unpaid after warning notices.
Compared to traditional towing, the Barnacle is a less invasive enforcement tool, triggering an alarm if tampered with, as stated by Dederick.
