Bet you guys are gonna laugh at me for getting tickets for parking in "reserved for disabled parking"
On this evening, my friend and I were parking our trucks in the disabled parking spot for unloading my stuff into my new apt. It was my second trip on the second evening since i moved in. We only parked our trucks for less 25 minutes. I have a feeling that this tentant, who lives near the disabled parking spot, got jealous and angry at us so he called the police and complained that we parked there without permit. When we were done moving the last load, we walked toward to our truck to go somewhere to eat, we noticed the cop car in the front of our trucks so I ran forward to the cop to try explain that we couldnt able to park anywhere but parlk this spot to unload. It turned out that it was volunteer traffic cop ticketing us. I explained him that i couldnt able to park in the fire lane cuz it will be towed for sure and the other parking are full so we figured it was okay to park for unloading purpose only. He shrugged and pointed to this disabled parking sign. He didnt care why. I looked at the ticket to find out how much fines.
Guess what? Freaking $518 fines... tooo muchhhhh.... I looked at this "so called" cop as if i was going faint but he didnt care about it and said " nothing i can do about it" then drove away. My friend and I both got tickets total over 1 thousand dollars for just parking there in less 25 mins. Jeez what a new expericne for me moving into a new apt.
Of course, we are gonna request for a hearing.
Is there any way we could convince the judge that we couldnt able to park anywhere else but this disabled parking to unload my stuff?? we should have parked on fire lane cuz it could be 150 dollars but the sign says "it will be towed on your own expense". I spoke with the apt manager, she said that she will help me by writing the letter explaining the judge that she approved us to park there and there is no handicap or disabled tentants in this private property. I ve seen everyone doing that in this apt place and im the only person who caught. I m pissed offff!!!!
I will never mess with disabled parking in the future, even, for unloading purpose.....
