And WE are supposed to ‘bail out’ these clowns as they sink deeper into bankruptcy, wring their collective hands and wonder why.
As to the jury...They sure stuck it to the CITY OF LOS ANGELES didn’t they.
That they are ‘serving’ on the jury would make one think they pay taxes (well, on the tax roll) and would themselves be paying this ‘judgement’ out of their own pockets.
We need tort reform for parking tickets.
It’s a good example of why healthcare cost are way out of line.
A little more sting for the sanctuary city. Drip, drip, drip.
Trying to figure out why he deserves $650K, while every other parker who got a photocopied rejection letter gets nothing.
Give them a break.
They need $$$ badly.
Their Undocumented citizen residents are costing more than they said they would and paying less in taxes.
But they will pay off in the long run.
If you need a Xerox of your ticket, it’s $1.
The 2nd was again in the FQ where you have to use valet parking. 3 years later the city tracked me down with a ticket I never knew about. The valet obviously just threw the ticket out knowing it would be my problem.
I want the number of his lawyer.
I’m definitely going to send a demand letter for a ticket I received a couple years back which is an identical circumstance. I still have all the correspondence on it. It irked me that they rejected my contest of it when the law specifically stated the area had to be signed and I provided pictures!
$650,000 makes no sense. What’s the justification?
I wonder if this precedent could be applied to red light camera tickets? They are also processed by private companies with very little chance of contesting.
Those paid to follow the law, did not know the laws they were suppose to follow; but ignorance of the law is not a defense. Where was the city attorney that they did not know the law and know THEY were permitting an unlawful practice. Oh, that’s right, taxpayers cannot sue the officials that work for them for doing a lousy job; they cannot even call negligent official conduct illegal, and have the culprits prosecuted.
