Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

We're talking about traffic laws, not criminal laws. Only traffic laws enforced on private property are drunk and reckless driving.

 

Well that's a new one on me. Nothing like that in my area or anywhere I enforced laws. I'd bet that could be challenged if anyone ever cared to do so.

 

Those rules are normally governed by covenants, not ordinances. I can understand a junk law, but an ordinance telling me where I can park an operating, registered vehicle on my own property would be a problem for me. And parking a semi in your driveway will have no affect on property values.

 

If it was only criminal laws he'd never of received a citation.

Parking enforcement has been around forever, now I can't speak of the exact laws where FW was but since you were former LEO as was I do you really think an Officer would write a ticket knowing he is going to lose in court.

I'm not saying I would've written a ticket at all however FW saw the signs and still parked, anyone who says they wouldn't consider those signs to include a bobtail truck are just being an axx. Come on drivers were supposed to be professional drivers and to not recognize a clearly posted sign for what it's intention is well that just silly.

Besides FW posted a no box truck picture sign so does he believe it doesn't include his combination tractor and trailer since it's only showing a box truck.

 

Im not sure how you've never heard of zoning restriction laws. They've been around a very long time. In all areas of the country. Ya they get challenged, sprinted the trucker wins, but that's almost always in a situation where he owned the property and parked there before the ordinance was put in place, so he gets a grandfathered in exemption.

 

I've cited people into court for disorderly or public intox. Not every criminal gets arrested. Underage drinking too. And bad tickets are wrote all the time. You know better than that.

 

Cops don't enforce zoning restriction laws. Wasn't my job. The city filed those complaints as a civil matter.

 

I never questioned whether you've cited criminal laws but are you going to say you've never cited traffic infractions?

Bad citations are issued I agree however drivers (CMV) also break laws and rules.

I know not every criminal gets arrested (seems they lose elections though...lol)
but not every driver that parks illegally gets ticketed either, unfortunately FW got caught he just can't seem to admit HIS mistake.

FW admitted he was parked in the lot (he debates whether it was Walmart or Burger King) he also admits to seeing the sign and choosing to interpret it his way when most every other driver would read and comprehend it means no CMV.

He wants to blame the cop for doing his job while the truth is FW didn't do his job by knowing the rules/laws/regulations that pertain to the operation of a CMV.

Why not man up and say I shouldn't have parked there, now the officer could have not written the ticket but I'd bet FW argued or debated that he was right and the officer is wrong.

I can tell you NO court case has ever been won on the side of the road or parking lot.

If FW really feels he was unjustly cited take it to court plead his case and try and beat it.

My guess is he's not the 1st or last driver to be cited. So without a doubt it's probably already stood against a challenge.

Now if FW wants I'll be glad to go to court with him and record the proceedings for all of us to critique the hearing.

Either way good luck whipper snapper.
