I carry a notebook containing a printed copy of all the California laws pertaining to motor homes and handicap parking permits. The ignorance is strong with code enforcement. It pays to be prepared.
My daughter (who is finished with Law School, but has yet to take the BAR) got a ticket near my house in the northern part of the county. CA law allows for assignment to the county seat court if you live or work closer to it. Since she works for the Public Defender in South County, (and lives in the city), she requested the county seat. The deputy was COMPLETELY unaware of her obligation to comply with the request…EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A BLOCK FOR IT ON THE TICKET.
My daughter recorded the entire incident. It only took a few minutes for the deputy to threaten to take her to jail. The Deputy's position was that she had been through the police academy, so she OBVIOUSLY new more about the law. :(
There is no low point in the brain of some officers.
