And I believe that "rock" you and amy are so enamored with is actually the head of a creature emerging from underneath between his legs. written by amy , August 15, 2008 Nicki, did you look? I did!! Didn't notice it! He was watching his parting rocks? Poor dog! (open to interpretation!) -amy written by amy , August 15, 2008

Since this is a Police Blotter and relates to TPD I thought I'd share this with everyone. This is a true story, I will not divulge my source but it is reliable and this shows how much TPD does not know the Vehicle Code.
Let me first give you the location so you can all envision the area. It's on the north side of 10th St, just east of Central Av. There are two parking lots, one behind the new corner restaurant (Central Av/10th St) and the 2 story professional building across the street from Tru-Hardware. There are 2 drive ways on the north side that have a space between the 2 drive ways long enough to park ONE vehicle. There are no markings on the curb, roadway, or signs instructing drivers of no parking. A few days ago there were 2 motor officers and 1 patrol car trying to figure out if a vehicle was parked illegally. The vehicle was a newer Corvette. They were trying to figure out if there was any violation in able for them to cite the vehicle. They were saying that it could be a problem for vehicles exiting the most western driveway because it would obstruct their vision. Now remember this is a Corvette that is really LOW. They find no violation there. They then look to see if the Corvette is extending into either driveway. It isn't. They ponder this predicament and can come up with nothing illegal about the way this vehicle is parked. Out of desparation, one of the officers gets a tape measure to see if the vehicle is parked 18" from the curb. It's not. They eventually leave. Now I ask you, did it have to take 3 officers to decide that a vehicle is properly parked? How much time did those officers actually spend there in their quest to issue a citation? Did they notify dispatch that they were there and what they were doing? I wonder if they even brought this up to Admin? I'll bet they didn't tell a soul.  written by rdnkbrat , August 15, 2008
FTUD......... at least they've upgraded to a TAPE measure.. lol. I can see them doing this ! Years back after an accident, as I lay strapped to gurney...the Sherrif's Office VS PD is actually measuring with their feet, heel to toe, to see just who's juristiction I was in... in the meantime the paramedic told them to figure it out and meet us at the hosptial... Sherrif's Office won.. lol. Even funnier was a friend listening to this over the police scanner.... Things they do for fun.... Rock Paper Scissors woulda been faster !

I am feeling generous, so.... Perhaps someone called in a complaint. The TPD has to respond because that is there job. In trying to pacify the complainer they made every effort to find a violation.
Scenario two...The car is possibly registered to a person with whom they have had problems in the past. In which case they may have been looking for any violation just to stay on this person. If I was a cop, and I ran a license plate that turned out to belong to a known drug dealer, I may try to find a violation just to have a reason to contact this person. If they become combatant then you have just cause to pat them down or search the vehicle. I think the TPD are smarter than people give them credit for. I am not saying they don't goof off at work like the rest of us, but this may not have been one of those times. written by Jazbone , August 15, 2008
Great explanation Annie! That makes sense.
It would also help explain why the U.S. prison population represents 25% percent of the world's prison population. With the U.S. population only being 5% (300mil) of the world population (approx 7bil), something's not right...kind of disconcerting when you think about it... written by fortheunderdog , August 15, 2008
Annie Snyder,
Wrong on both counts. I personally know the owner of the Corvette and that person is not a criminal by any stretch of the imagination. BTW, the owner was not present when the vehicle was being looked at by TPD so I did not get my information from that person. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it is possible someone called in a complaint but you're going to have to see that area for yourself to know that there is no way anyone would complain about that parking spot. If someone did call it in I'm sure you'll see it posted in the next police blotter but even if is was called in, once arriving at the parking spot you could see that there is no violation thus a simple push of the button saying "10-8...unfounded" would have been appropriate. I'm sorry Annie, but I must disagree with you on this one. A simple check, and they should have already known, of section 22500 of the Vehicle Code would have told them there was no violation. This is the section that defines parking, stopping, standing of any vehicle. It's one of the sections of the VC that most cops memorize. Maybe it was a training session? written by fortheunderdog , August 15, 2008
You know, it sounds like I'm ragging on TPD when in actuality I'm not. I know they probably have a lot of work to do with patrol/traffic being the parts of the department that is most noticeable. If they're having a slow day driving around looking for violations, wanted persons, etc, they should drive through the parking lots and look for handicap parking violators. You see them EVERY day! I am not aware of what the fine is for that violation now but I'm sure it's around $450. And to boot, there are actually 3 violations for that one Vehicle Code violation. 22507.8a, b, and c. And that's not counting the one for blocking the wheelchair access ramps on the corners.
Think of this as a training session. written by Nicki , August 15, 2008

That sounds like back in the day when I was driving an 18 wheeler. I was pulled into a weigh station and they went over my truck with a fine tooth comb and couldn't find any problems. After I got back into my truck to leave the DOT officer jumped up on my running board and asked me if I had my fire extinguisher and when I handed it to him still in the box, he gave me a $200 ticket because it was not bolted down. Go figure. written by Nicki , August 15, 2008

HMMM I don't see no lucky creature. What I see is the "big rock". Maybe Amy and I see things differently or our mind is in the gutter more than yours.  written by maybenotdumBcommenT , August 15, 2008
4:30 p.m.: Someone reported seeing a man lying in the bushes with his mouth wide open behind Wal-Mart at 3010 W. Grant Line Road.
Probably waiting for someone to throw Goobers in it, why else would he be lying there with his mouth open, it's not a crime is it? Please tell me he didn't go to jail for it! Just Goobers, yum yum. written by Annie Snyder , August 15, 2008
I will look again at that picture. I saw a rock or an orb or something.

Don't even get me started on this guy! I was thinking that the startled guy was looking for THIS guy. Ok, I held that in for more than a day. You have to give me credit for toning my original thoughts down, too. Mdnc, good one...goobers! Seriously, if people called the cops every time I had my mouth open I would be in prison for life! I hope the poor man was not having a stroke or heart attack or something, though. We joke, but it might have been something serious. written by amy , August 15, 2008
Right Annie, hopefully the three digit heat in Tracy are not doing some people in, however, if he is fine, I thought he was applying the principle, "put the money where your mouth is"?

amy and Nicki,
I looked at that painting again and it sure looks like an animal head to me. Maybe I'm not looking at it the way you two are. |
