Shame on @CityBellflower πŸ˜‘πŸ‘Žand their corrupt parking citation infrastructure

Shame on @CityBellflower πŸ˜‘πŸ‘Žand their corrupt parking citation infrastructure & their $57 dollar "PARKING TRAP" on Beach street in front of St Bernard Church.

Drive by sometime if u don't know what I'm talking about. DO YOUR JOB & FIX IT. Ignorance is NOT an excuse.

There's a SPECIAL PLACE IN HELL for freakin "admin law judges" who RUBBER STAMP DENY legitimate parking citation appeals. They DON'T even read the appeal. & around here the citations start at $60.They also won't sign their name. U R SCUM πŸ‘ŽπŸ˜‘

A street in front of St Bernard church in @CityBellflower has 10 signs, 10 poles:  

7 say "NO PARKING Sat/Sun"; 

The other 3 say

"NO PARKING Friday."

Normally u put ALL restrictions on the same poles. But here they expect u to walk the ENTIRE STREET & read EACH sign.

So I pull up to the sign that says   "no parking Saturday or Sunday" and today is Friday. I park & go to church & come back & find a $57 citation on my windshield.

So I look at the sign again & it still says  "no parking Saturday or Sunday" and it's still Friday I walk to the next sign & says the same thing & the next sign says the same.

There's 10 signs : seven of which say "no parking Sat/Sun" ; three of which say "no parking Friday" so if you miss one of the three (out of 10) you get a $57 ticket.  

Why don't they put ALL the signs on the same pole like most municipalities do & according to Uniform Code?

Because it's intended to trap people, like a speed trap at the bottom of a hill. Or they added some later in a lazy manner & are too lazy to fix it

The uniform code for parking signage actually requires  the MOST CLARITY POSSIBLE. This is a BIG FAIL at a visitor's expense. Or it's a success if it's intended to be a money maker for Bellflower. 

And why does Bellflower outsource the parking appeals to Tustin, a whole different county, to an alleged judge who rubber stamps a denial of the appeal and won't even sign his/her name ? Maybe because nobody actually reads it ? No actual judge ?
