What is the name of your state? California

Does anyone know how and when the "new" 72hr./Abandon Car ordinance will take effect?
We have had trucks sitting unmoved on our streets for months (prior the owners willl just sit and wait for a warning then move them across the street> In the meantime local troublemakers hang out in them and party.)
The offices don't answer the phone to take reports anymore.
The police arrive too late and look at us like we are troublemakers since the partyers are long gone.

Any light at the end of the tunnel?What is the name of your state?

To make a long story short...I went into an AM/PM to pick up some corndogs, parked in a handicap spot for 2 minutes, ran in and came back out, and there was a cop issueing me a ticket - $330!!!!!!!!!! Is there any way I can contest this or get the fine lowered? Any advice would be appreciated.

Possibly helpful info: Land is under commercial zoning, does not have any available parking spaces for store patrons besides the 1 handicap spot, he was issueing ticket when I came out and did not allow me the opportunity to move it

That's Culver for you. I got my first speeding ticket, parking ticket , and red light ticket (I swear it was yellow on the way through!) at the Fox Hills Mall cross traffic light when the mall was closed! Those cops have it down. You probobly were so hungry you didn't see them waiting around the corner! Sorry for your down luck.

So, basically, it is okay to park in a handicap space, just not on YOUR street?

Please de-code your response to my post regarding 72hr enforcement law in Los Angeles.

Even if they adopt a 72 hour abatement program, this does not mean that instantly every derelict vehicle will disappear. These things take time and involve contracts with tow companies, and a lot of record keeping.
