I was ticketed unfairly after parking my car for a maximum of 45 minutes in a 2 hour zone M-S 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. This was not a parking meter it was regular street parking.
A few months back I was ticketed by the same government agency "Los Angeles Parking Enforcement", I was ticketed unfairly at around 7:45 a.m. in a meter that was not enforced until 9:00 a.m. I have pictures to back up the validity of my claim showing the meter number and also the sign that clearly states that it is not enforced until 9:00 a.m.
Something needs to be done and I am more than willing to speak to the media about this unjust situation(problem) that is occurring in our city and I as a citizen feel like I have no control over. It almost feels like the city is against it's residents and trying to pay it's deficit by scamming it's citizens who follow the laws and street regulations by following the street signs and laws.
I don't have time every time the "Parking Enforcement" agent feels like breaking the law or being incompetent to write letters and take time to make phone calls when in reality I have done nothing wrong and never broke the law. I did exactly what the sign read and did nothing wrong to be Penalized with a citation between $48 and $55 dollars. In these economic times every penny counts and to be unjustly fined it really does hurt and I don't want to put up with it.
This is plain unfair and Illegal and in America it is plain hurtful and painful to know that we live in a society where such unfair acts are being practiced by city employees.
Someone please help!
