Why dont you compare us with other countries while you're at it.
I think we are going off topic in this failed thread.

Well I was in West LA at the French Consulate bldg. I was lucky enough to get a parking spot right in front of the bldg. Checked the sign no street cleaning that day another car was parked behind my truck so I was all set. WRONG! Apperently when I parked my truck my bumper was sticking out 6 inches into the red zone of the curve. Of course I didnt have any front plates cus in Riverside no one cares if you dont have one. So to make a long story short one ticket was 35 and the other war for 75. I should have just parked in the parking structure and payed the 10 bucks. That will teach me from being cheap...lol!

how do they give tint tix without using a light meter?

the topic of this thread is melrose meter maids handing out useless tickets. we're all providing examples of this. we're not off topic, you just don't want to discuss it. that's your prerogative, just please respect our desire to keep the discussion open

having any tint whatsoever on the front windows & windshield is illegal out here

I haven't run a front license plate on any of my cars since, well a very long
time....got a speeding, tint and no plate ticket in '91 on the 210 freeway.
That was the last one, needless to say I'll stay away from Melrose. Tint
and not running a front plate is a game most of us play....sometimes you
win and then once in a while one of us gets nailed....glad it wasn't me!

damn alpha that suxs! i bet those meter maids don't give any of those cars down the street at platinum motors a ticket...just my $0.02

crybabies. a law is a law and you broke it quit bitahing. so what if it's "useless"? just because YOU find it to be stupidly useless, doesnt mean u can break it. i think useless tards like some people should be burned alive. and its not like only melrose hands out that kind of tickets. go ask ur parents for some money if you cant afford it.

I was parked in a 2 hour spot, but just barely went over.. ran to my car and as I pulled out the meter maid sped up and blocked my way as I was pulling out, and said "I can either give you the ticket now or send it to you in the mail".. in hindsite I should have written her badge number down and file for harrassment.. I was in the car already and it was in motion.. she could have caused an accident

funny you mention it, i was parked directly accross the street from platinum...



where the owner parks his vanquish s on the sidewalk



Garyc, i agree with ya! personally i feel tints are more of a subscription than a lifetime thing, im goin for my 3rd installment soon, but with road rage worse than ever id rather chill behind my limo tints.

aight man all you had to do was say you liked doughnuts, case woulda closed then chief.

That sucks, we atleast get 35%, and I roll with 20% and dont get stopped

My opinion...meter maids should not be giving tickets other than meter violations! If a violation disrupts their scope of duty such as blocking the VIN#, fine cite them for it but equipment violation....come on?!?

fyi...meter maids have no authority to direct traffic on any public roads yet they do it. What's going to happen if they get hit by a passer? They were doing something not authorized to do.

^yup!

I always see them trying to play cop! I just chuckle and go about my day.

wow, someone has been drinking the haterade!

Actually one of my friends got a no front plate ticket while his car was parked on the streets of Ktown.
