Can you fight City Hall?  We’re sure going to try, or to be more specific, fight the police department.  Sam received a $50 parking ticket for parking directly in front of our house.  No, it wasn’t street sweeping day.  The ticket reads for “parking within 10 feet of the centerline of the driveway”.  What?

He has a big Ford Econoline van, which is a 15 seater; which is neither here nor there.  It was parked directly in front of our house, not blocking either our driveway or our neighbors.  What the heck is this 10 feet from the centerline of the driveway ordinance?  I have never heard of such a thing.  If that’s the case, I wonder if you can ever even park there when you go out 10 feet from my centerline and 10 feet from my neighbors centerline.  I’m going to measure tomorrow.

We have parked there for the 8 years we have lived here.  Never once id we get a warning or a ticket for this.  We have however, been sideswiped twice, had mirrors broken off and had a full on other vehicle back into my car while it was parked in front of my house.  All hit and runs.  Where were the police then?

This is absolutely ridiculous.  I wonder what quota the officer was trying to reach when he issued this citation.  I am so glad my tax dollars are being put to such good use here.  I will call tomorrow morning to complain, let’s see if I get any where.
