Police blame a local developer for installing "no parking" signs around a popular city restaurant that resulted in 233 tickets being written in a two-year span. [More]What a mess this will be to unravel.
For some reason this reminds me of the time my wife's car was stolen several years back. The "Only Ones" found it a few weeks later parked on a street less than a mile away. It had several parking tickets on it that had been written at intervals throughout the period and were like pulling teeth to remove from the record. No one could answer why a license plate check on the first ticket didn't solve the case.
Commissioner Peter Dalacos, "I still have concerns about what action we can take to, at a minimum, have Mr. Bronson reimburse those tickets that were paid."
ReplyDeleteBronson may have illegally installed the no parking signs but the city profited from the fines. The city should make the reimbursements.
I find it difficult to believe that out of 233 tickets written in a two-year span, there were no complaints made by citizens or by the restaurant owner that would have clued the city courts or the PD that, just maybe, the City Commissioners never conducted a traffic study or passed an ordinance on the necessity of the placement of the signs. But, then again, why question a bird’s nest on the ground?
Except for the city reaping profit, I applaud the enterprising landlord...
ReplyDeleteNow that I think of it, there have been too many knuckleheads parking too close to my drive lately, 'hello sign shop, do you have....'
"No one could answer why a license plate check on the first ticket didn't solve the case."
ReplyDeleteCuz they didn't run a license check. DOH!
