Parking lot predator in Albany Georgia

Oh look real facts.....

Sec. 38-125. - Remaining on business property after closing.

It shall be unlawful for any person to remain upon the premises or parking areas of any business while such business is closed, without the consent of the owner of the business; provided, however, that in parking areas which are common to more than one business, such conduct shall be unlawful only while all of the businesses are closed.

(Code 1975, § 16-46; Code 1985, § 17-55)

State Law reference— Criminal trespass, O.C.G.A. § 16-7-21.

Huh guess you missed the memo Georgia. That is straight from Albany's code. No mention of a sign, warning, responsibility of preventing access.

If you can find a code that backs up your statement post it. He'll last time I checked castle doctrine in Ga said if your standing on my property without permission I am under no obligation to confirm intent before ventilating you.

Might want to read up Sparky.

 

No you posted wanting to know if it was a scam, and could you call someone to try and fix it.

I suspect you also wanted sympathy.

Sorry not my job and Wal-Mart has nothing to do with this other than it being private property drivers should be aware that they should get permission before assuming they can park there.

As I told you 5 pages ago. My hope is that newbs will get it in their heads to be responsible and know where they are parking. All I have done is post the civil code of Albany, commented that many municipalities in that area have similar codes, and told you that this falls 100% on you.

You parked there. You have no idea if the other truck had permission, paid a fee, is the owner of the lot.

You just said well hell Joe Schmucko shipping clerk says it is ok, nice and flat, and I need parking so I will just take it. Now you and others want to blame everyone but the person that parked on a lot they did not own, and did not verify with the owner it was approved.

Own your mistake and move on.

 

Well sparky there is NO business where that driver parked. OCGA also states that if you declare that you will be towed must show the company and the contact info for the towing company.

Miller does like your DC's do...take forever to load or unload and then say your on your own.

And you had better rethink the stand your ground law for Ga. It's based on something called threat.

 

And his is why I will always carry my 18 volt 4 inch cutoff tool and a camera.

Assault me while I am cuttinloose and its his problem now.

 

Well print out that law, take the OP down to the police department and have these crimijnals arrested

Couple flaws in your theory in that she was never towed. See they must post the signs to tell you where to claim your vehicle. If they boot it that is not required. In addition she freely admits as do you that Miller does not own that lot and can not give permission to park there.

Several times it has been posted call the police and report it. No one seems to want to do that. Could it be both of you know she was in the wrong?

Oh wait here you go from the state of Georgia

The Georgia Department of Public Safety (DPS) enforces O.C.G.A. Section 44-1-13, which regulates non-consensual towing from private property. If the towing company tows from private property, it must have an agreement with the owner of the property as well as filing with the DPS. Please note that this Georgia law does not cover booting, non-consensual immobilization of an automobile, or consensual towing; nor does it cover towing from government property or towing within a municipality.

 

With all due respect, could it be that you all are beating a dead horse, and perhaps it’s time to let this debate end and move on?

 

Read with comprehension, the lot is not part it the business, you park and it will be towed all your billy ###### will get you is arrested, you’re welcome to come and give it a try.

 

This is all irrelevant if the booting agency does not have a biz license or a permit to do biz in Albany. I was a police officer for over 25 years. If I was called to this situation I would have asked for a biz license from the said booting/towing company, most cities also require towing companies to have a city permit to tow in that city. I would also get in touch with the owner of the property to verify it..the booting company should have that. As an officer if all of that checked out then there is not much I could do..its private property amd the owner of that property can do as they please. Just from what I read from the op this just sounds a little fishy to me..sounds like a scam being run there in Albany and that's not a surprise...may be wrong though.

 

Did he give you a receipt to write off on your taxes?
