Cops are pigs
 

$350 for parking a legal spot, that is illegal 3 hours a week. Thursday from 9-12.

Cops are pigs.

If only they'd put up a sign or somethign to let people know about these rules!!!

They could even put it on a pole next to where you aren't supposed to park so it's right there in your face.

.

That's actually a really good idea. I wonder why they didn't do that in this case.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i got a $500 fine and 5 points on my licence for no seat belt
some cops are twats

omg what country?

I find it humorous the law requires me to wear a seatbelt when I drive my 2500 heavy duty diesel truck but I can ride my motorcycle barefoot in just a pair of shorts.

.

Good point. We should just petition to make motorcycyles completely illegal. :thumbsup

fucking Australia and the cop was on a fucking push bike the tosser
so know i have to drive around for 3 fucking years like my nan
because i only have 2 points left
its the only time i thort i was going to punch a cop

i know what you mean why should anyone make me wear a seat belt makes me mad

Sign is totally hidden. Big green sign that says "2 hour parking" is nice and visible.

You are a pussy.

Cops giving parking tickets? What a waste of time and tax dollars.

In Montreal they have a separate crew to give out parking tickets, cops stick to moving violations.

yes, you should have the right to have your remains scratched off the windshield if you like so :winkwink:

Why is it the cops fault? They didn't make the law. They just enforce it.

Here in my hometown the freeway is two lanes in each direction but it sort of becomes a city street with traffic lights. Driving North there is a turn lane to turn into a shopping plaza at the light, but people like to hit that turn lane, come to a complete stop in the middle of it so they can cross the double yellow line and enter in through the first entrance. My friend got a ticket and bitched the cops. I'm confused - We have law about crossing a double yellow line for a reason. In this case, you can't fucking stop in the middle of turn lane to cross the double yellow line - cars enter that spot at 45mph and don't expect people to be stopped there. The law is there for a reason, and it's enforced for a reason.

Don't be stupid. Break a stupid law, pay a stupid fine. Get over it.

I've gotten tickets like that which were timestamped outside of the illegal no parking time periods and had to jump through hoops to not pay.

The cops don't read the signs either. :1orglaugh

The cop is just part of the chain, he KNEW what he was doing, he knew it was just a trap - nothing but a thief in uniform.

You could say the same thing about a pedophile, hey he likes selling pictures of children - he's just doing his job. Even a pedophile KNOWS what he is doing is wrong and have more honor than a cop.

Anyone that becomes a cop and devotes his career to being dishonorable, pissing people off, when they could have chosen something that honorable and that actually helps people. Getting my car towed helps no-one, and yes, it's the cops fault for being the final link in the chain.

My bad, you are not a pussy. You are a fucking idiot. :2 cents:

Being a pussy idiot is still better than being a dishonorable pig. :321GFY

The difference being, one is fact the other just your opinion. :2 cents:

Well lets see, recently my buddy's brother showed up to his house, used his house key and didn't get the alarm to shut off in time, the alarm company spoke to his brother and confirmed who he was, he stayed there for several hours and no one showed up.
2 weeks later, my buddy got a bill from the police for $145 for police support over the issue when they didn't even show up.

Blame your local government, not the cop. The city, or whatever, makes the parking laws, and if the cop doesn't enforce them, they will fire him. His job is enforcement, and he has no power over what laws are written, or what fines are charged. If the cop decided not to do his job, which is enforcement, then the city gets someone else that will.



If you actually want to change things, you need to talk to your city government....


....unless of course you are just blowing off steam, in which case, carry on.....

Take good pictures showing that it's hidden, then go to court and RESPECTFULLY show the judge that it's hidden.
If while trying to take pictures you can't find an angle that makes it appear hidden, there could be a different problem.

Mostly blowing off steam. Paid the fine. Dealt with it.

settle down bad ass... if what you said was true and it was clearly not visible you can fight it and most likely win.

Also cops have nothing to do with parking laws.. I'm pretty sure in most parts of north america it's meter maids that do that shit anyway...which are not cops.

That's the stupidest analogy I've ever read on this board. If the sign was hidden, then take a picture, file a dispute and fight it in court. I'm guessing you just screwed up and now are trying to pin the blame on the cops for your own ignorance.

Correct - "Meter Maids are pigs"

yeah but you're saying cops.. that's not even the same thing.

When you get a huge bill you don't agree with do you blame the mailman?

Holy fucking shit GFY is getting dumber and dumber by the moment.

You saying that the police intentionally set up a trap to generate funds. But the truth is the police didn't make it illegal to park there - the city did. The police don't make the laws, they just enforce it. They saw your car parked there illegally, and gave you a ticket. But you think it's some kind of whacked out conspiracy with the city government and the individual police officer so they can make money.

I thought it was really odd that there would be a law that you couldn't park in a certain place on a certain day for three hours. Then I remembered that I can't park outside of my house on Thursday from 9am - 1pm. Duh - street cleaning. Once a week they send a sweeper truck through my street. I bet you someone bitched that their street isn't being cleaned, and thus the police needed to take action. It does seem excessive that they would tow a car, but my guess is that no one follows the rule so now they just tow.

i used to get parking ticket after parking ticket when lived in cali, outside my apartment. I never parked illegally or anything. How the fuck you park illegally at your own home? HAHAHA

anyway... in los angeles you gotta pay em first THEN show up to court to argue your case. Often times the parking meter lady would just ride up and ticket all the cars outside my apartment and no one was doing anything wrong, we were parked outside our own living place! LOL dirty shit goes on, id be willing to be more than half of all parking tickets written are actually false claims and its just meter maid making a bonus or something, fa real man...

I kick his ass!!!

...clearly Obama's fault.

Why do you blame cops. They did not pass the law. Some idiot politicians did.

The cop is only enforcing it.

Wrong.
Cops get a ticket quota from their boss, which comes from the government. Governments base all their actions on one factor: Is there money to be made.
So they go out of their way to write tickets where ever it's possible while forgetting why cops were invented in the first place: to protect and to serve. Ofcourse they do some good things, but the majority is getting cash for the government.
Speed trap poles at 2 in the morning on an empty road.
Police officer sitting on his ass for 5 hours straight, sipping coffe in a civilian car, next to a mobile speed trap to keep an eye on it that nobody is demolishing that electronic pocket picker for the government.
Especially here in NL everyone sees cops this way, and that point of view is not based on hot air.

So your saying they... go out of their way to do their job? LOL. About time someone did!

Trust me, I'm a fucking speed demon. If your speeding at 2am on a empty road, your still speeding, and it's still their job to pull you over and give you a ticket. It's not their job to look the other way.

You guys doing all the whining need to realize that you aren't fucking special. The laws apply to EVERYONE. Yes, EVEN YOU. I have to do the speed limit. I can't park illegally. I have to obey traffic laws. Because I do those things I have zero tickets. I don't even remember the last time I got a parking ticket.

It's because I know I am not special and the laws apply to me too. Those who haven't come to that realization are the ones with the tickets.

I think you're special. :)
