I fully understand that in some communities there is no parking for one hour each night so they can tow anybody who leaves their car. I also fully understand that others say after three, five, seven, thirty days, whatever the car is considered abandoned and can be towed.
If a car is legally parked in front of somebody's house, not violating any of the local laws for resident permits, being in one spot for too long, no parking times, etc, what exactly will the police do when everybody in the thread calls them?
Of course if a car is parked illegally by being there too long, not having proper permits, they can, and should remove it.
But what right do they have to remove a perfectly legally parked car from a public parking space because somebody thinks that spot is theirs because it is in front of their house?
Agreed!
I once parked under a large tree for the shade in the summer, reading my newspaper over lunch. The woman who lived in the house that I parked in front of called the cops. She ran out to tell me she called them, and I said I would be glad to talk to them
When the police showed up, they asked what I was doing. I said I was reading the newspaper in the shade over my lunch break. They said I was free to park there and read the paper. So that is what I did the rest of the week.
