njfboa police/court members need some advice

[BurninrubberGT]

so i just got a ticket for not parking in one space, but here is the senario. i work in a mini mall, i park in the back row when i work and take up 2 spaces, but there is never anyone else in the back row except for 2-3 other employee's. its a $50 dollar ticket, i know the cop did it just to be an ass hole because i have mods done to my car. now to you opinion, should i fight it in court (i know i dont have a good argument but id try) or eat the fine?

i never even knew it was a law.....you have no idea how pissed i am :evil:

Why do you take up 2 spots in the first place?

[maroman88]

private parking lot.. or municiple lot?

[BurninrubberGT]

Why do you take up 2 spots in the first place?

i dont like people parking next ot me...im anal about that kind of stuff.

plus i only started doin it recently because my coworker who always parked next to is workin at a different store for a lil bit so i take his spot too as a joke

private parking lot.. or municiple lot?

uh mini mall parking

well then you are guilty. I would just pay the fine, there's no way your getting outta that ticket, especially in this economy with towns so hungry for money.

[sweetbmxrider]

hahah there is no way you will win, flat out. sorry. i don't even know if the private lot part matters. if someone complained, bam.

[Mike]

court costs will add money, if you think you can win go, but be ready with more than 50 bucks. if you dont want to chance it, mail in the 50

[maroman88]

its a shady line.. technicaly if its private proprety the property owner would have to sign a complaint or be responsible for having the vehicle removed.. UNLESS its a fire zone violation

[BurninrubberGT]

no one would of complained about me, im the nicest freakin kid, and of the 2 stores that are there in that park of the parking lot i work at one and know all the ones at the other.


and i just went through all my learning to drive stuff with all the laws, there is not one thing about parking in 2 spots, so cant i fight that i was never informed about the law and should have recievd a warning? if it was never tought why should i be punished right? i seriously didnt know i could get a ticket for this crap

[sweetbmxrider]

there is going to be a town statue for it. they don't have to teach you everything, you have to learn on your own.

So what car was this in?

[BurninrubberGT]

So what car was this in?

the grand prix


and you know whats sad? my parents had dinner in the resturant next to where i work last night, and my dad parked sideways next to me in the gto..

[sweetbmxrider]

i have seen cops issue tickets for the tire touching the white line or being more than a foot from the curb. yes they have rulers. yay summer revenue!

[NJ346]

the grand prix

hmmm...case of the GTO>GTP :wink:

[NJSPEEDER]

I have had officers say something to me about parking crooked, but never heard of anyone getting a ticket for it.

[WildBillyT]

There's your answer. Pay up.

[BurninrubberGT]

thats what i dont get my car is there all the time, i obviously worked in the mall, should of got a warning, trust me i would of kept in 1 space if i knew it was a law..


thanks guys

[LTb1ow]

The lines didn't give it away?

[Jared1970Chevelle]

find out if there is a town ordinance for parking..... if its private property its private property and you shouldnt of gotten one.

[BurninrubberGT]

no i thought they were murals from indians

find out if there is a town ordinance for parking..... if its private property its private property and you shouldnt of gotten one.

thanks il look into that

[sweetbmxrider]

not unless there was a complaining witness. a cop could be one too if i'm thinking this correctly.

[NJSPEEDER]

Private property with open public access means public enforcement and rules. I know it applies to all the malls around here, police can pull you over and ticket you just like the street.

[BurninrubberGT]

not unless there was a complaining witness. a cop could be one too if i'm thinking this correctly.

judgeing by the hand writing im 99% sure it was the cop

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah well like tim just cleared up, its all fair game. should have a badge number on the ticket too. the witness would just sign i believe, not fill out the actual ticket :lol: i would keep a book in my golve box then! you kidding!?

[NJ Torque]

the officer signs as complaining witness...

[Frosty]

DING. The man speaks the truth. The whole private property thing doesn't mean jack unless it's your property.

Either way it's a dick move by the cop. I'm sure he's seen your car there plenty of times and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out you're an employee at one of the businesses there. Now THAT'S the kind of cop that gets under my skin.

Parking tickets like that are written when someone has a pound of sand in their vagina and they need to take it out on someone that isn't bothering anyone.

[sweetbmxrider]

i dono, maybe he just ran into the restaurant for some take out, saw 1 car in 2 spots, and said wtf?!? :lol:

[Frosty]

The chances of that are about as slim as a LT1 beating a LS1

ZIIIING

wow you described half of the roxbury police department :rofl:

the cop waited an hour and 45 minutes sittin across the street waiting for me to come out too

on a side note i have nothing against cops, just the local ones like that^^

[NastyEllEssWon]

i take up 3 spots at work

[ryanfx]

I take up 7 spots

[sweetbmxrider]

i leave spots on my spot

[bobb1589]

personally i think it is stupid to take up 2 spots... and its only $50 i would suck it up and pay it because as said before, you will have to pay court fee's and i really don't think they would drop it

[GP99GT]

if nobody else parks in the back of the lot, why do you take up 2 spots? nobodys going to park next to you, if "nobody" parks back there.

pay it and quit being a ricer

really? your gonna be an ass and call me a ricer? there are the ass holes who have any spot in the lot to park and they park their beat up 94 corrolla next to me...thats why + as i posted before i did it as a joke

dont call me a ricer, you drive a freaking rustang

this wasnt a thread about your opinion of parking, it was to ask for help on my situation.....mods can you close since some people cant keep to themselves? thanks to everyone else though

[GP99GT]

i drive a rustang, i also used to have a grand prix GT just like you, i never parked it in 2 spots

you parked in 2 spots, its illegal, pay the ticket, and dont do it again

[ryanfx]

:fight:

[Kojak]

I am with Matt on this one. I don't think the cop gave you a ticket because he was an ******* I think he gave you a ticket because you parked in two spots despite there being less cars who park in the back. Anyway good luck with it but it looks like you gotta pay.

[NJSPEEDER]

I agree. If you are worried about your car or where you park it there are easy ways to make sure you are parking to protect your car. Always try to park on the end of a row, if you have to park next to someone else, try to park on the passenger side of the other car since people drive alone more often than not, and try to park near entrance/exit lanes you know are lesser used.

The logic that the cop did something because your car is modded is comical to me, do you really think they care that much about your car? Police earn a nice salary and I would bet that he has something much nicer than your car sitting at home or at the station.

[BurninrubberGT]

i wouldnt of did it in the first place if i knew you can get a ticket for it

never meant it in that way... i meant it in the way as that i mod my car so i must drive like an ass and never obay the law



il probably pay it...and eat something dum from that station again, but first im gonna find out who the cop is because i cant tell by the signature, if its a certain cop im definately fighting it

[Knipps]

Ignorance of the law is no excuse, pay up.
If you fight it court costs will just take your money, so they get it either way.

[NJ Torque]

What does it matter one officer vs another?

You were wrong, you admitted it

Where is the problem???

[BurninrubberGT]

What does it matter one officer vs another?

its a long story

[NJ Torque]

its a long story

No matter what the story... probably for "harassment", right?

You still broke the law, you were wrong, even if it may be an LEO that you have/had a tiff with, he is in the right to ticket you.

[BurninrubberGT]

no it wasnt

All but maybe 1 or 2 of the Roxbury cops are really really nice guys. I am under the same union as Roxbury PD, and frequently BS with them. Ahhh the perks of working for the town :nod:

Besides, Roxbury PD rarely frequent that mall unless they are grabbing a bite to eat at the Vermont Pancake House or attend to complaints (mostly by the ricer hangout at Micky D's).... so, it's not like the cop drove by and decided to give you a ticket because he felt like being an *******... someone called and complained about you taking up two spots. Just go to town hall and pay the fine. :nod:

[Frosty]

That's even worse IMO. I'd rather get a ticket for that from a cop that was in a bad mood rather than some idiot taking the time out of their day to call the cops because a vehicle was taking up two spots.

[enRo]

That's even worse IMO.

Ummm... not really. Someone breaks the law on purpose, prepare to suffer the consequences. I'd rather know that I got a ticket because someone saw me breaking the law on purpose, rather than a cop just being a complete dickhead.

[baddest434]

i hate when people take up 2 spots..just ignorance imo. if you don't want your car dinged up park far away from everyone else. but it seems no matter how far away you park some idiot will park next to you.

i understand you did it as a joke but it was a 50 dollar joke! pay up..move on

[miketa95]

at the lowes movie theater in cherry hill there is always this d-bag who parks his honda odyssey with gangsta rims in two spaces despite the place being packed. That ish makes me angry.

[Frosty]

I don't know, I couldn't imagine myself calling the cops and wasting their time because someone took up two spots. I have better things to do, as do the police force.

You're right, the law was broken and the ticket was deserved but it's nit-picking by whoever called the police.

[79CamaroDiva]

When I had my jeep I parked mirror to mirror with some import who took up 2 spots. He probably wasn't too happy.

[BurninrubberGT]

ok so i talked to a county officer that my family is friends with tonight, he got my hopes up for a second....he was goin through the ticket and was like ya i would fight this....then an "Oh wow" he saw that it was an ordinance in the town, which he was surprised, and said they wont give a **** to what i have to say in court and to just eat the fine. he also said there was no witness/complaint by someone on the ticket that is was all on the cop, and he saw it as a dick move by the cop

i also talked with people in my store and the resturant next to me let them know not to park on an angle in 2 spots (out of 6 people, no one knew it was a ticketable), which some kid in his beamer was, after i told him he instantly left and parked straight lol

[GP99GT]

a dick move by the cop

yeah i feel like a dick every day i go to work and do my job too

Seriously. Just pay the ticket. I know that sucks based on general principle but it's not worth your time. I know how much it blows to be written for something so petty- I had to pay a speeding ticket for 30 in a 25. But you did break the law/ordinance.

[BurninrubberGT]

thank you smart ass

i knwo im gonna pay it

[sweetbmxrider]

learn your lesson and check out the other laws that you may not know exist. ignorance won't get you out of a ticket, ever.
