How The Barnacle® Works

1.  Deployment

A parking enforcer activates The Barnacle®, inputs vehicle information, and places The Barnacle on the vehicle windshield. Commercial-grade suction cups latch onto the glass with 1,000 pounds of force, making forcible removal next to impossible.

2.  Motorist Release

The motorist calls the phone number or visits the website displayed on The Barnacle, pays their fine (if applicable) and are given a release code.

3.  Return to The Barnacle Drop Box

The motorist returns the lightweight Barnacle to a nearby drop box. If applicable, the refundable deposit held on the driver’s credit card is voided. Most drop boxes are on-site or walking distance from where The Barnacle is deployed.

Ongoing Monitoring and Management

Via the free companion Enforcer App, enforcers can set the fines, enter vehicle and situational information, and see status of deployed, released, and returned Barnacles.
