Long story short:
I live in a community that maxes curbside parking at 72 hours before a vehicle is deemed abandon and can be towed.
I have been dealing with a certain vehicle whose owner played the cat and mouse game of merely rolling it forward or back a few feet every 48 hours to skate.
This guy made the mistake of using my property curbside for his shenanigans...I warned him that his actions would not fly in front of my house...and it would be costly...
He dissed me and said it was public street and that he would do anything he wanted...IDIOT...he obviously has never flown an AH Scenario or event under strict command and protocols...
I got sick and tired of his games and so did the parking people...once I convinced them of what he was doing (took two weeks dealing with bureaucrats to get them on board)...the game was over
A few digital photo's, my street video surveillance camera, and some corroborating testimony from neighbors was enough to cause action
They came out yesterday and threw 3 chock stripes on his tire in 5 minutes - his cob web infested tires...normally they stripe once every 24 hours 3 times to get to 72 hours
They were convinced this guy was a dirt bag scammer via the pics, video and neighbors who backed me up...
The guy's long term storage ride was towed to the impound today - he should have listened when I told him his ride was gonna get hooked and I was sick of his games
Locked and loaded in case he goes haywire over this...then again I pack loaded at home 24 7... so nothing new here
Victory....

thats definately one way to deal with a gank ;)

Like that bit of curb actually meant anything to you.

Yeah stupid. I truly dislike people who think they need to be community police.
Parking curbside means you're a dirtbag now.
-
Poor Melvin (and poor Kilo as well)
To respond: yes it did mean something to me...I run a business that owns several vehicles that infrequently need the curbside space in front of my home/office...and at times customers bring boats on trailers to my home/office/place of business for the purpose of network/electronic upgrades...
When a scumbag / dirtbag guys play these games, they directly impact my ability to do business
I take deep satisfying pleasure that this guy is dealing with the hell that is an impound...hopefully he abandons the vehicle permantly to the impound process...otherwise...if he tries this again...he will meet the same fate
Not in my space....not in my yard...ever...follow the rules or pay the price

Deal with it personally.
Unless, of course, you are a dickless rat.
EDIT: Sorry Skuzzy. I pooped in your house and will accept the due punishment. However, I will give no quarter to a beyotch.

As far as I know property rights don't extend to the curb.

If i dealt with IT personally I would be in jail for a Felony
I sit in a warm fuzzy place right now that this "visitor" to our country was denied his ability to permanently park a second vehicle in front of my house indefinitely, by merely rolling forward and back every 48 hours, and thereby materially impacting my legitimate business activity
SCREW HIM...GLAD HE IS DEALING WITH HEARTACHE

Ahhhh, so you are pissed at the illegal immigrant.
Well why didn't you just say so brother? I hate those beaners too.

72 hours
Public streets are not long term parking solutions
Wake up
-
It is rude and crude to park a vehicle that does belongs to you in front of someone else's house on a regular basis especially if there is room elsewhere, namely in front of YOUR own house or on YOUR own property. If this vehicle is an extra piece of junk and there is no room for it on your own property or in front of your own house then get rid of it. This is precisly the reason towns have codes like these.
I say WAY TO GO, oneway!!!! That chitbag had it coming. I'd have done the same thing.

Let the cops deal with it if its a problem. I am not going out of my way for stupid piddly crap like that. People who do go out of their way to do that are weak. I am sure the car seriously impeded the majestic view of the asphalt.

See Rules #4, #6

oneway, i agree with your actions. it is hard to run a business without ample parking for your clients. the person was clearing toying with the system. as been said, if there is ample parking space in front of the house you live in or are visintg, park there. to add to this, if there isnt enough parking spaces, they make PUBLIC parking garages for a reason. i would have done the same, although where i come from it would have had a dog pinning him to the car before i went to the police :D dont give our dogs love and affection and raise em young to protect THEIR property for nothing :rock

why go to see Bobo in the state pen if it can be avoided? if you get a fight and the guy is in a position to kill you and all you can do to save yourself is to kill him its different, but in this case why do what a dog can do without getting in trouble?

My question to oneway is : Why do you hate America and what it was founded upon?
I fail to see one bit of relevancy in that question and how it pertains to this issue. If anything, he did exactly as any good citizen would and should do: try and work it out with the neighbor, try and work it out with the neighbor again, and then get the proper authorities involved that have been given the specific authority by the USCON involving namely the State in which he lives and the authority in which that State has rightfully delegated to the county and city where he lives.

personally, i'd have had fun with the guy. 1/4 turn of the schraeder valve will fix the moving back n forth problem.
what did the car look like? was it a pos? or did it at least look decent? was it registered? insured?
an abandoned car is not only an eyesore, but it is also a danger to the neighborhood. just a couple of years ago, right in camden nj, 3 kids suffocated to death in an abandoned car. somehow they got themselves locked int he trunk. was bad.

Derp.... :ahand... Yep, got my butt handed to me by a snitch. :rolleyes:
Last time some wetback tried to park near my yard he got beyotchslapped, and then we went inside and he watched while I made love to his woman.
Not really.
I live in a small town. We have no parking ordinances (except in winter, when you must be off the streets after dark for the plows to come through).
I just think that oneway (funny name, considering the circumstances) could/should have handled it better.
even small towns generally have something. the town i live in, you can't park facing the opposite of traffic, you can't park a commercial truck on private property(even if it fits in your driveway), and you can't have unregistered or uninsured cars in your yard, or driveway. and trust me......my little town isn't that great.

aahh......but there cam....and have been problems. i own a 650hp race car. it will never see the street, and is not registered. thus, by the towns ordinance, i cannot have it out in my driveway, whilst i work on my street car in the garage. i went through this years ago. neighbors complaining. they lost eventually, but gave me fits in the meantime.
now, like i said.........on the street as you say....i consider that a dangetr to the neighborhood. i'd still have messed with him some though....just for the sadistic fun. :devil

You are absolutely correct...I do not get it.
After 50 years of doing laps on this rolling rock I have yet to find any answer, definitive or otherwise explaining the purpose and meaning of life.
Please take this opportunity to enlighten me...and go easy...I am stupid, and a slow learner, (see 50 years of doing laps noted above)...
I eagerly await and EXPECT a clairvoyant juxtaposition on the mechanisms of life, man...and the universe...and how all pieces of the puzzle work (caveat ***)

Ya know, playing by the rules is something that everyone has to learn... Granted. There's also times where a personal dispute can be handled in a much more dignified way. Getting someone's car impounded and then loading guns isn't a dignified manner of handling a non threatening situation. That's my $.02.

moreso.
an abandoned car becomes an attractive nuisance....and.....people get accustomed to seeing it. if they become accustomed to seeing it, it would be very easy for vandals, burglers, etc to hide in it, "casing" the neighborhood, and eventually breaking into some of the homes. or worse, raping or killing someone.
or as i mentioned earlier.......right around the corner from my shop, 3 kids suffocated in the locked trunk of an abandoned car they were playing in.
i've had people abandon cars on my parking lot here at the shop. i go through all the channels to get them to either get it repaired, or removed. when all of those fail, i have it towed.
i'd kinda like to see a picture of the offending car myself.......

I'm sure this will get locked. If nothing else, mainly due to
racist remarks. So I'll add my IN.
And oneway, you did what society calls for.
You let the authorities handle it. If we all took matters in our own hands,

Just my .02 though. While I totally agree with you in principle that minor problems should be handled man to man unfortunately these days doing so can land you in the pokey with some rather inconvenient problems that can last for years thanks to the nancys we've elected over the years and the local SS (staffed more and more by punks that can't find better employment). I probably would have wound up doing the same thing as the OP even though my basest instincts would have been to cook up some thermite and melt the engine block.
Sad actually IMO...

Where do you live that they allow parking of trailered boats on a city street ?
Where I come from "scumbags" are the neighbors who's kids deal rock and shoot the other kids on the block. Not people who park on streets they own. We have the same law but its a 30 day law, "in our great wisdom we realize people actually leave on vacations for more then 72 hours". I guess after 27 years of hearing people rat out their next door neighbors over the most trivial things has left me cranky. I once had some nitwit lady call at 0300 saying her neighbor was watering his lawn and wasteing water. With the 3rd largest freshwater lake a mile away he was "wasting water".
There was once a time in this country, back when people actually knew their neighbors, when you would walk over and kindly ask why you need the spot and could the guy help you out. He wouldnt "have to" cause he pays taxes too and everyone owns the street. He probably would tho just to be a good neighbor. Nowadays everyones a rat and they have to call 911 just to wipe their own rear ends. And they wonder why Govt. is so intrusive in their lives.
Poor Melvin (and poor Kilo as well)
To respond: yes it did mean something to me...I run a business that owns several vehicles that infrequently need the curbside space in front of my home/office...and at times customers bring boats on trailers to my home/office/place of business for the purpose of network/electronic upgrades...
When a scumbag / dirtbag guys play these games, they directly impact my ability to do business
I take deep satisfying pleasure that this guy is dealing with the hell that is an impound...hopefully he abandons the vehicle permantly to the impound process...otherwise...if he tries this again...he will meet the same fate
Not in my space....not in my yard...ever...follow the rules or pay the price

bolded........that is the neighborhood i live in. we all know each other, and we all watch out for each other.
the time i mentioned having trouble with my racecar in the driveway, was a new neighbor, who didn't have the time of day for any of the rest of us. rather than coming to me, he went right to one of his friends on the town council. the bad thing for him, was that the mayor at the time was a friend of mine, which is how i found out who was complaining about my race car.
when i got done with him, he moved. he couldn't sell the house for what he wanted, so he rented it to an acquaintance of his, telling the guy i was a real ultra melon.
know what the first thing the guy did when he moved in? he saw me out ni the garage working on my friends camaro, and came on over, to introduce himself, and find out how much of an ultra melon i really was. we ended up being friends.

Now since the comm system is anonymous they rat each other out for the most trivial parking offenses. We have no choice and have to hang the banana or they keep calling.

They dont give us "warning ticket books". Such a book would be expensive to print and wouldnt pay for itself. :D They do issue other kinds of ticket books for every minor offense you could think of, from jaywalking to spitting. You'd be surprised what "spitting" could cost you.
Not that we use them much. Old guys like me dont use them at all. But even old guys like me have only so much lattitude nowadays. Its all computerized, video'ed, supervized, recorded. They took 90% of our discretion away, leaving just enough to give those with clout a pass.
The system is set up to rip off the average working person. It was easy to do, and painless for those who did it. I mean who does the citizen hate more at the time? The guy in perma-press writing the ticket or the clowns who passed the laws/fines in the first place?

Give me a break parking on the curb is different than "real" crime. IMO it is snitching because its so piddly just doesn't truly matter.
if its so piddly why are you getting all worked up over a parking thread?

OMG. I actually read the OP yesterday and could have had the first reply, but I decided to wait and see where this thread went and to see if more info would be provided as to why.
My initial thought was that having the car towed was a bone-head move. It IS a public street and if he moves it enough to not break the law, then he is doing what he can to follow the law.
Your pissed because you have customers that stop by your house and they can't park close. fluff'n Waaaaaaaaaaaa. If you were that worried about it, you should get yourself some commercial property so they can park in a designated area.
I actually hope that another neighbor decides to park in "your" spot just to piss you off, bone-head.

spitting is illegal??
Used to be. In many places it still is. Try looking into a municiple code book to see what you can be ticketed for. Most towns and cities now have non-Police employees running around pounding the working stiffs to dust with all the tickets cause we dont like to.

i found out the hard way, that philly parking authority can ticket out of state cars for expired inspection sticker.
when i got out to my car, i saw the ticket.....looked, and saw time on the meter, so i looked...and it was 'cause i was about a week overdue for the inspection.

I have a Neighbor like oneway
Hes a total fun killer and thinks he owns the street, as soon as he gets up he parks his car out the front so none else can use his curb.
Any noise in the street like a small firework then hes off running up and down like some nark even when we have the Moto GP and the whole town is full or bikers and most totally off their faces good old ranger bob will still stand in their faces and try to stop any fun they maybe be having that's not hurting anyone.
Ranger bob also was the top dog for the whingers in council so this year there is no public fireworks for the 100000 other people that holiday here because he is a dick, as i am sure all the shops and bars that used to make most of their money around new years would be slightly pissed that now they will make F-all due to a whining apparent do good er that has is noise in stuff that's not really affecting him.
The rant is a prophecy as to they way i see you going oneway, as ranger bob has lived here for 25+ years and everyone hates him but just put up with the guy as gun control is strong in Australia.
Best way to deal with people is tell them you have a problem over being a rat as then you don't have to watch your back when anyone you have ratted out gets drunk or has a breakdown as you may bear the brunt of it.

I asked this guy to cease and desist on several occasions and he told me to go pound sand.
Don't pretend to know me...how I operate...what my moral compass points to, or anything else about me.
I warned this guy over and over again. At first I was polite and CLEAR, the next I was MORE CLEAR, the next I told him that he would be towed if he did not cease and desist..and I gave him a final warning.
I did everything I could to get him to stop.
He failed in his arrogance.
I would do it again in a minute
By the way...all of "my" neighbors applauded the action and result. This guy lived 10 houses down and almost around the corner. He had a second vehicle and refused to park this vehicle in front of his own home...WHY?... so as not to piss off his own neighbors.
THAT'S RIGHT...he chose to move it way up the street because he knew he would piss off the people he had to face every day if he pulled this crap at his curbside.
By his very actions he demonstrated he knew what he was doing was wrong.
Now tell me again how I screwed up?

As far as I know property rights don't extend to the curb.
And end typically end at the sidewalk. He was right it IS a public street. Usually in front of a place of business if it is designated for parking only for that business. Signs are placed by the city or township stating that fact
I agree with Dragon when he said "My initial thought was that having the car towed was a bone-head move. It IS a public street and if he moves it enough to not break the law, then he is doing what he can to follow the law. "
Im sure somewhere on that street there is at least one person who doesnt like seeing the same the commercial vehicles or boats parked there with at least semi regularity either. shoulda just let it run and in due time he would have had it parked someplace else.
Lastly we dont knwo why he is having to do that. It may be that he is having a problem with it and cant afford to have it fixed right now. With todays economy thats certainly understandable. So long as he keeps the registration and insurance up to date which most states mandate to be able to park a car on a road and is moving the vehicle so as to stay within the law. I dont see how he is doing anything wrong so long as he isnt blocking your driveway.
And if you have the kind of business where people are having to park in front frequently. then yea. you probably should have a commercial property for that somewhere else as you are undoubtedly causing more of an inconvenience to your neighbors on a regular basis then this guy is inasmuch as if parking in front of your place is filled then your trucks and/or customers are almost certainly parking in front of theirs.
Personally, I would have let it slide and politely asked him to either not park there or to only keep it there very briefly. Karma is a biotch in this type of situation and with things like this what goes around tends to come around.

Your missing the point. It Is a public street. you dont have the "right" to "tell" or demand anything from or of him with regards to it.

Let me throw out another question to the detractors on this thread:
Hypothetical -
What if a guy who lived a half a mile away from you decided to use your curbside on-street parking for the long term storage of his un-used vehicle? What if this guy who left this vehicle in front your home, demonstrated over a long period of time, that he would never move it...and simply would drive by on his way to work every third day and move it forward or backward a few feet to avoid the tow?
Now tell me you think that is OK?
By the way, my city has an ordinance that specifically addresses this and makes it illegal. The same ordinance addresses the guy who goes out and wipes the chalk markings off his tires...to buy more time and fool the system.
Based on the video I provided the police...which showed this individual doing that once, and moving it back or forward and simply jumping back in his other car and driving off is what got his tail in the ringer
The sanctimonious braying of the naysayers lacks substance and fact.

Bit of a difference in parking a car in front of your place and leaving it there. Then moving it as the law requires. A good lawyer on his part and he beats the ticket and all associated costs.
Is it written how the auto must be moved? If not then he broke no law.

I have every right to request, 'tell' or 'demand' anything of him.
However, I have no right to compel him to act, or force a compliance with a request or demand
He has every right to ignore any request or demand made by private citizens
I am very aware of the difference between a threat and a warning; I know the words that differentiate the two
He was requested and warned...he failed to heed the warning and underestimated my resolve.

I'd like to see the ordnance that states that. I've never seen one worded in such a way. I've seen it claimed, but never seen it actually written that way.
the only time I've seen it written that way was in an apartment or townhouse complex where the parking lot was owned and maintained by the developer or property owner. And then it was written by them and not as a local ordinance.

Because it is a public street, he has EVERY right to demand or tell who ever he wants, what he wants. Whether is it favorable or not is up to opinion and not applicable to the law.
Think of it this way, you park your car in a very bad place in town and obey ALL the "rules" so that it is not towed. However you have some inhabitants who do not like your car and want it moved, they will have it moved one way or another. You come crying to me and all I am going to tell you this:
"Why would you park your car in that part of town in the first place? You know what can happen and by leaving it there and ignoring what the public wanted, your just at fault as they are for making your car disappear."
In other words, when you act like a $#$@ and use the law to piss other people off, the law will protect you...but not from the people you pissed off.

I have a car that I park on the street with a bum tranny. It won't get into 3rd gear, but, I still run it up to the corner store every couple of days. Sometimes when I get back, most of the parking spaces are taken so I park it down the street. I'm currently working on getting the title back since it was used to secure a loan. Within a few weeks, I will take it to the scrap yard and be done with it.
If some bone-head had an issue with it sitting in front of their house and had it towed even though I follow the law and move it as required, I would be pissed. And, no, if the same idiot asked me to move it, I would tell them to pound sand too because it IS a public street.
It sounds to me that he parked in front of your place to just rub you the wrong way.
Still a bone-head move on your part.

I wasnt disputing the chalk mark.
But part two is still in question.
I see nowhere there that dissallows him to move the vehicle by hand. and " slightly" is far from defined. If its only a couple of feet then I would agree. But if he's moving it to another spot.. Lets just say it leaves for wide interpretation.
A good lawyer or even a not so good one and he beats this case easily.
Furthermore. and it could be argued. that under what Im understanding your interpretation would be. If I had a car parked for a couple of days. Then took the car and went to the store. Came back and the next spot open was the only one available. and parked there. I would be in violation.

No, you would be fine
But when video evidence exists, showing an individual get into a vehicle, and roll it a few feet, lock it back up and leave, that constitutes 'concealment', and case law supports it. The act is viewed as intentional concealment of the mark, and deliberate intent to obstruct enforcement of lawful regulations.
F. Lee Baily couldn't defend it.
Its why the guy got hooked up and hauled away.
There were no questions, no indecision on the part of the parking people; it is why they threw the 3 chock marks on in 5 minutes and called the wrecker.

Jayhawk is correct.
No citizen is required to follow an unlawful order of a peace officer (or any government official); in fact citizens are within their rights to ignore or not comply with unlawful orders, and entirely within their right to summon an officer from a different agency and file a complaint (ie call the Sheriff of your county if a city cop is abusing your rights).
However, prudence suggest you follow the order (stay alive), and then get rich with a good civil attorney when municipality/jurisdiction settles out of court many months down the road.
Unlawful search and detainment, and abuse of power end in huge monetary settlements providing their is evidence (video, audio or eye witness)...and of course your case is helped if the officer in question has a history of such usurpation of authority.

The ordinance is 72 hours.
This individual would leave his vehicle in the same spot for at time up to 2 weeks. When he did make a move...it was typically to pull up to a new space, or back into a new space...or simply move across the street.
All 7 of my neighbors were livid with what he was doing...and until I captured it on video...there was little we could do.
He was given ample warning once the video started rolling, and told about the video...and warned that he would towed.
In fact it was the parking people who told me to video it; that without that their was little if anything they could do; they did not
have the resources to 'stake out his vehicle'.
It was simple then...take one of the 4 exterior video cameras I have running 24 7, point it at the street, and dump it to DVR...with a little monitoring of the chalk marks disappearing and the deal was sealed.
I even asked the neighbors to come over and view the footage before I made the final call to the cops; unanimously they said pull the trigger...no more warnings.

Getting back to my car scenareo for a moment.
If I had taken the car to the store and then came back as I described. but you didnt see me do that. It would undoubtedly appear as if I simply moved the car from one spot to another. Personally I have no problem with that. Longer then the 72 hours and I agree with the point.
Would I be correct in guessing this guy was fairly young. Early 20's?

Long story short:
I live in a community that maxes curbside parking at 72 hours before a vehicle is deemed abandon and can be towed.
I have been dealing with a certain vehicle whose owner played the cat and mouse game of merely rolling it forward or back a few feet every 48 hours to skate.
This guy made the mistake of using my property curbside for his shenanigans...I warned him that his actions would not fly in front of my house...and it would be costly...
He dissed me and said it was public street and that he would do anything he wanted...IDIOT...he obviously has never flown an AH Scenario or event under strict command and protocols...
I got sick and tired of his games and so did the parking people...once I convinced them of what he was doing (took two weeks dealing with bureaucrats to get them on board)...the game was over
A few digital photo's, my street video surveillance camera, and some corroborating testimony from neighbors was enough to cause action
They came out yesterday and threw 3 chock stripes on his tire in 5 minutes - his cob web infested tires...normally they stripe once every 24 hours 3 times to get to 72 hours
They were convinced this guy was a dirt bag scammer via the pics, video and neighbors who backed me up...
The guy's long term storage ride was towed to the impound today - he should have listened when I told him his ride was gonna get hooked and I was sick of his games
Locked and loaded in case he goes haywire over this...then again I pack loaded at home 24 7... so nothing new here
Victory....

No citizen is required to follow an unlawful order of a peace officer (or any government official); in fact citizens are within their rights to ignore or not comply with unlawful orders, and entirely within their right to summon an officer from a different agency and file a complaint (ie call the Sheriff of your county if a city cop is abusing your rights).
However, prudence suggest you follow the order (stay alive), and then get rich with a good civil attorney when municipality/jurisdiction settles out of court many months down the road.
Unlawful search and detainment, and abuse of power end in huge monetary settlements providing their is evidence (video, audio or eye witness)...and of course your case is helped if the officer in question has a history of such usurpation of authority.

I think your spending far to much time indoors. Go take a walk and get some air.
Now your story includes your army of livid neighbors and plans to make your stand against the ticket wielding Police. Or is "everyone" out to get you? WTF is the big deal about someone parking a legally licensed auto on a public street?
he never mentioned if it were legally licensed or not.....or did i miss something?

I would bet the demographics of the two sides of this argument can be defined thus:
Pro - Adults (over 30), property owners, managers, independent contractors, business owners, property tax payers, capitalist pigs, parents, married
Con - Kids (under 30), renters, tenants, entry level employees, college students, high school students, no kids, single
Just a hunch

Most likely true. The age old struggle of young men vs old men.
