I get it. A very stupid ordinance -no question. Not remotely close to defending it. Still , the headline was wrong and people all over social media are commenting on something they never actually read.
I will put an end to this argument right now:
“The ticket shows ordinance listed as 99006 but there is no ordinance in the city or state that corresponds to 99006. Under the description of the offense, it lists VEH/MOTOR ON UNATTENDED 895. Ordinance 895 is listed as being part of “rodent control” on Roseville”s website.
FOX 2 contacted the Michigan State Police for more information. Lt. Mike Shaw says there is no state law that prohibits letting your car idle with the keys in the ignition.”
Officer who wrote the ticket was in the wrong and should apologize.
Police Chief who told a tax payer to “Drop Dead” should be fired.
Case Closed.
