I just read an article about South Lake Tahoe where visitors are getting $1000 tickets just stopping to unload luggage in front of their rental houses (B&B rentals). Cops are not permitted to give warnings, full $1000 tickets are mandatory. South Lake Tahoe government says they need the money. Local government out of control everywhere and stiffing people.
That’s mean and greedy. That (no warning $1000. ticket) will cause a lot of people to direct their anger at the cops. The police are only doing their jobs. That would produce a bad memory for some, and make them not wish to return the next year. Local Govt. simply needs better management of public funds, meaning a few salary reductions here and there.
That’s one way to reduce the tourist crowds.
