Other Parking Citations Received by Other Victims in Other Cities

This is just a quick summary of other parking citation abuses suffered by other people at the hands (or pens) of corrupt law enforcement. The following comments are personal opinions and stories by these people. This web site takes no responsibility for these comments. It is clear that there are many people who feel wronged and helpless to defend themselves. Unless we fight back, there is little to stop Parking Enforcement Officers from giving citations to anyone, regardless of whether or not they are actually illegally parked or even parked at all. These letters were received before the Forum section of this site was ready.

Many cities have corruption in Parking Enforcement. Los Angeles may be the worst.

I received an e-mail from someone who was parked on his driveway. Pasadena.

After having two cars impounded in one month, I started doing my homework. It seems Robert Rizzo and the City Manager of Bell had annual salaries of over $400,000.00, from fees generated by impounds, code violations and parking tickets. This racket is the template of most cities throughout the USA and even the world. This subtle yet horrific manner of robbing people violates the US Constitution (4th Amend.), Federal RICO laws, State Felony for Grand Theft, Burglary 1st && 2nd degree, Money Laundering, Bribery, Conflict of Interest between "Police Garages" and private criminal impound lots, Extortion, Title Fraud, PATRIOT ACT DEFINES TERROR ACT AS THAT WHICH AFFECTS INTERSTATE COMMERCE, POLITICAL AND/OR MILITARY OBJECTIVES, by towing cars without probable cause, you affect interstate commerce and fraudulently acquire property to deprive the owner of their property permanently or by making them pay for its release. That is Felony racketeering folks, and time has come to make! ROBERT RIZZO the poster boy of our cause... File Criminal Complaints!!!

Jon Q Citizen: 12-23-10

July 16, 2011 I was infuriated when I recieved a ticket for my car being in L.A. when I wasn\'t there. I saw your site, took your advice, and sent in a check on which I wrote the following in large letters in red ink: "I AM SENDING THIS CHECK UNDER EXTREME PROTEST BECAUSE I WAS NOT IN THE PLACE AND TIME OF THE ALLEGED CITATION". I sent a letter today, via certified mail just over 1 page long, asking for a hearing and protesting the citation. I will provide the letter, but I want to know if you are still active. The last posting on \"cars that are not there\" appears to be in March, and that is a while back. Please respond as soon as you can.

Scott: 7-16-1

Hi SLAPEC - Good, you are active. I thought I would get an email from you and didn't. I am Scott and I sent the email on 7-16-11. I am scheduled for an administrative hearing with the county of Los Angeles, Parking Enforcement Detail in a place called Hawaiian Gardens on Thursday, August 18, 2011. I don't trust these people. I have a feeling they are going to try to screw me at this hearing. A few weeks before this, when I received their second letter stating "We received your inquiry and conducted an initial investigation regarding the citation listed below. The investigation has confirmed that the citation was properly issued and is valid" - THAT'S BULLSH**!! I KNEW THEY WERE SCREWING ME, because I had sent them a copy of my scientific field notes, in detail with periodic time updates for the day of the alleged parking violation, May 9, 2011, demonstrating I was in Riverside County when they said I was in Los Angeles, and I sent a copy of my work timesheet with my hours for that day, showing I worked a full day on May 9, 2011, and reinforcing my field note record. I never got a citation because I was never in the alleged L.A. location: 447 E 126th St. I have never been there in my life. I had to Google it because I didn't have a clue where that is. It's somewhere near San Pedro. On the day of the alleged parking violation I was in Menifee, Riverside County, in a construction project called "Shops at Scott" next to Scott Street. Since I never got the citation on my car, I requested the County of Los Angeles Parking Enforcement Detail for a copy of the citation. I had to move quickly. To request the hearing, I only had 21 days, not from the date I recieved the above mentioned second letter (a request for a hearing) but from the day THEY SENT IT. By the time I got it, a few days had gone by and since the letter had to get to them by the 21st day, I had to make damn sure I got that letter off several days before the "due date" 21 days later. I sent the check via Certified Mail with the following written on it in large, capital letters: "CHECK IS BEING SENT UNDER EXTREME PROTEST. I WAS NOT AT PLACE AND TIME OF ALLEGED CITATION". It made it here in time, thank God. The citation I received in the mail had no VIN # for my car, but it did have an extremely accurate description of the color, make and model of my car, the month and year of registration, and my license plate number. How the F*** do they get that information? That is what I want them to tell me. I went online and did some research. I found out if you receive one of these tickets, you basically HAVE NO RIGHTS. I learned that 1. The only proof the Parking Bureau needs that you were at the alleged place is the parking citation itself (without the VIN number in my case); 2. The issuing "officer" (we used to call them meter maids) is NOT REQUIRED TO BE AT THE HEARING (these first 2 items actually come from the California Vehicle code if I remember correctly); 3. YOU ARE GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT - You have to send the check in until you are proven innocent. If you DO NOT send the check in they can punish you severely, not by putting you in jail or making you clean the highway, but by punishing you where it hurts - in the wallet. They can put the Phony Citation on your record, and if you do not pay the citation they can have your insurance rate increased or charge you extremely high fines. I did some other research: I wanted to know who is this agency called "County of Los Angeles Parking Enforcement Detail\", which occurs at the top of the letters they send you. Online this agency is called www.lasheriffparking.com (866-561-9744 Wait on the line - someone will answer you). I called the office up and asked them what their name is, because there was some confusion in my mind making the comparison with the agency discussed in this SLAPEC site (more on this in a bit). The lady (one of many, it feels like a telemarketing operation) told me they are called: County of Los Angeles Parking Violations Bureu (lasherrifparking.com). THIS AGENCY TITLE IS NOT ON ANY LETTERHEADS YOU RECIEVE IN THE MAIL - They all say "County of Los Angeles Parking Enforcement Detail". Now here is where my confusion is: In SLAPEC, you are referring to a CITY of Los Angeles Parking Violations Bureau (213-623-6533 & 818-901-7027). I did some research about the _City_ of L.A. Parking Violations Bureau, and discovered that it is a privately owned company doing business under the City of Los Angeles name. It is a Corporation called "LCD Collection Systems". So for the "City Tickets", if you think your ticket is serviced by a government, you have been misled, it is handled by a corporation. Now here is where my confusion is: What is the relationship between the _City_ of Los Angeles Parking Violations Bureau, and the _County_ of Los Angeles Parking Violations Bureau, and I still have not found an answer. They told me at "lasherrifparking.com" that the two are not the same thing. Let me share with you what the letter for a hearing says: "Your request for administrative hearing on parking citation . . has been recieved. Your hearing has been scheduled for Thursday, August 18, 2011, at 11:20 a.m. Please arrive 20 minutes prior to you hearing time as persons appearing late or failing to appear will FORFEIT THE FINE and the right to pursue this matter through the civil court process. [New Paragraph] Only ONE appointment date request for reschedule will be granted. Hearing location, day and time WILL change, upon request for reschedule. Per state mandates, a person may request one continuance, however the continuance must be held within 21 days of August 18, 2011. [And in Small Type]Per C.V.C Section 40215 (b) the person requesting the hearing may request one continuance, not to exceed 21 calendar days. PLEASE SLAPEC, answer me as soon as you can with advice for the hearing, and if you can, explain to me the difference between the City and the County agencies.

Scott: 8-10-11

Got a ticket named "gridlock". They sent in mail a ticket with only the plates of the car, regardless who was driving the car at that moment. Went to a hiring with this VERY DISHONEST WOMAN , yes dishonest because she showed me a photo as a proof, the photo was taken by the red camera which she it is very aware they are considered illegal in CA, when asked her to took the photo, she said she do not know, and there she was ready to make me liable for the bogus WEST HOLLYWOOD ENTRAPMENT TICKET.
CALLED THE CITY AND THE SAID THERE ARE NO WAY TO CONTACT JUDY SHERMAN. NOW IF THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE AROUND, I AM READY TO LAUNCH A CLASS ACTION LAW SUEDE AGAINST THE CITY OF WEST HOLLYWOOD AND HIS COUNCIL HERMAN MOLINA, HIS MAYOR JOHN DURAN AND A CIVIL LAW SUED AGAINST JUDY SHERMAN
