How do Police mark vehicles that are parked illegally?

With a ticket, for timeing situations (1hr in a 15 min parking area) they frequently mark a tire with chalk.  The chalk wears off quickly on the road but not if you are moving just across the street.

How would you know they are illegal?  Are you just making assumptions because they are different from you?  I live next door to some US citizens, and they are declining my property values, by having junk cars parked all over the place and weeds growing on their property.....What can I do?  Hope and pray they move and mind my own business and accept that some people are slobs....

Contact the SFPD, ask for the Parking Enforcement Division and see if anyone there can answer that.  I assume you don't want to pay it because you are fighting it and not just blowing it off right?  If you wish to contest it you will likely have to meet with a Hearing Officer and plead your case.  However I could be totally wrong, that is just how it is done were I am from.

If its on your property and its not yours, which doesnt make sense, call the company to remove it. They have to access it to do their job. But you do have a right to ask for ID. That you can report. But the company will laugh at you and say they are doing their job.

If the Officer was driving around in his vehicle it would be illegal. The officer is subject to the same laws as we are not to mention that this is dangerous for anyone else on the road. However if he is parked offside the road of course he can have his lights off while radaring people. \nIt is not entrapment the Officers lights off is not forcing you to speed. I'm sure if he had is headlights on and was offside the road alot of people would still speed by.

Yes they should.  They are officers to, no matter what their position is. They are still wearing a badge and they are still there for our protection. They have to know the law to so shur they should be able to give out tickets.  Be easy on them, just imagine being outside in the strange weather to give out tickets because of people parking wrong. Sorry to hear about the ticket. At least it doesn't show on the driving record.

u wouldn't be doin any illegal attivity's would u???\nreport the serial # to police is the only way i think

nothing that is available to the public. Yes law enforcement has a database. Serial numbers of property get entered when stolen like a vin/plate of a stolen car. If property is recovered by law enforcement they can run it in the system and it will come back with a hit if the serial number has been entered. Do you suspect you have stolen property in your possession? If you do take it down to your local police station and explain that you have this in your possession and want to be sure it was not stolen. Be honest with them because they will ask how you got it and who/where you got it from.

Illegally, that's how.

It is not always illegal.  Some cities have passed a city ordinance making it illegal, although these ordinances are usually lightly enforced, or carry a very small fine.\n\nIn those cities that it is, usually the rationale given is that parking meters, aside from serving as a revenue source for the city, also promote the turnover of parking spaces (i.e. they keep people from parking there all day), especially in shopping district.  They do this by only allowing you to "feed" the meter a certain amount at a time (usually 1-2 hours).  This incovenience is often accompanied by a regulatory sign that prohibits parking in excess of a certain amount of time (regardless of the amount of money inserted).  The inconvenience of having to constantly babysit a meter will often force people to park in a non-metered space or garage.  \n\nFeeding other people's meters serves to defeat the goal of turning over spaces so that other people can use them.  It also makes the enforcement of regulatory signs more difficult (since the maximum parking time is usually tied to the maximum amount of money one can insert in a meter without making a second trip).

You can usually get an identification card from the local dept. of motor vehicle

I've worked in the Vehicle Records unit in my local police dept and ran into this problem all the time.... *** In California***\nWith our interface, we can run by name and address to see what vehicles you've got registered, as long as the vehicle is currently and COMPLETELY registered in your name (not just listed as a New Buyer).  But if your local PD can't do that, then look at your insurance paperwork.  Your VIN is listed on that.

They do seem to go up overnight - don't they?\n\nThe city usually is responsible for parking signs etc. so I'd check with city hall and they can tell you what agency/department is responsible.  If you get any kind of slack (which you shouldn't, but that doesn't mean you won't), you can then file a request with the city under the freedom of information act.\n\nBut, unless the records show it was put up WHILE you were parked there, it won't matter and you WILL get stuck paying the fine, but if you have the time, go to court with your case, you won't do any worse...\n\nGood Luck!

Call your local law enforcemet office and ask.

parking lots are private property so there has to be a sign posted saying that the property owner has allowed the police to patrol the parking lot.  If there is noting like that there is nothing that they can do to you unless you were pulling on to a city street, at least that is the law in CA

It probably isn't necessary for a car on private property to have a valid inspection sticker.\n\nOf course for it to be removed to the inspection station to get it inspected requires special arrangement. (In the UK you need to make an advance appointment with an inspection station; without researching Texas law I can only say that the worst case scenario would be you have to get it towed to the inspection place.)\n\nTechnically, whoever came onto the private property may well have been trespassing. But you probably won't get anywhere in court by arguing that. Unless this is a homicide case and you are arguing actual fear of harm, and that's why you shot the inspector!
