What is the name of your state? San Diego, CA
I work for a large store inside a mall. The Property Owner(PO) subs a security agency to do general public safety and parking enforcement. Between 11/26/04 and 12/04/04, I was citied 3 times for being an "employee illegally parked".
-----------
Back Story:
The Company that employees me entered into an agreement with the PO that all its employees would comply with the PO's parking restrictions. This Agreement was never furnished to me at the time of hire, I had my employee files canvased twice, there is no documented evidence that this agreement was explained, and none of the managers that i have spoken to have seen this agreement on file anywhere. The PO reps at our mall, "may not furnish me with a copy of the parking agreement, or vehicle code." I must speak with the Corporate headquarters to receive a copy of the vehicle code.
Note: This is part of what bugs me, in reguards to legality. Im liable to comply with an Agreement, that I never agreed to, not Expressly, not (legally) by Implication. And the Vehicle Code which I am liable to comply with can not be furnished to me, without speaking to a coporate officer.

Upon recieving my third vehicle citation a boot was placed on my front drivers side tire. And three Notices were posted on my vehicle one on each front window (driver and passenger) and one on the front windshield which were adhered with blue masking tape. All three notices read the same thing, stating that I was immobilized for being illegaly parked, that it would take $50 to get the boot removed and a contact # to call.
Note:Technically they have illegaly posted bill(s) on my car, also the size and location of said bills constitute an "Obstruction" according to State vehicle codes.
I arrived at work at 10:30 am on 12/04. The parking Citation was marked as issued at 12:00 pm. According to the verbal report that was recieved by a member of my management, my vehicle was cited at 11 AM, and my tires were marked, after 2 hours (supposedly 1 pm) the boot was applied. I received notification from a fellow employee that a boot was being applied at 12:45 PM. At roughly 1 pm I was issued a small reprive to view my vehicle and speak to Mall Management, I spoke with a Bike mounted Security Guard at roughly 1:05pm and was instructed where the admin office was located and was given a business card with the name and contact #'s of the Head of Security. I proceded to walk to the Admin office upon arriving at the admin office (roughly 1:15pm) the office was dark. I returned to work by 1:20pm, I phoned the Head of Security and left a voice message at the contact number at around 1:22pm and returned to work. I was informed that the Mall Manager had dropped by sometime between 1:25pm and 4pm and said that he would send the Head of Security(HoS) over to talk to me. I received this message at 4:20pm when I took my break, at which point I entered the mall to purchase food. By 5:30pm when my shift was complete the HoS had not shown up.
Upon compeletion of my shift I went down to my car to remove the booted tire and install my spare. I was spoted while removing my lug nuts, and in the time it took me to replace my tire (roughly 15 minutes) I was surrounded by no less than 6 security guards, and they had hedged me into the parking spot with a marked pickup. In the process of changing my tire I was joined by two fellow staff members and an assistant mangers who were also leaving for the day. I had repeatedly asked security personnel who witnessed me parking there, and with whom they spoke to confirm that I was working that day before they issued any of the citations or applying the boot, I was either given no answer or informed that "we dont have time to do all that". I than produced my recipt documenting my purchase and asked why a Customer (there is a posted sign stating that the parking is for Customers Only) was being citied for illegal parking. Their responce "we dont have time to track all that". When the HoS arrived at roughly 6:15pm he proceded to disreguard all my arguements as "games" including that the third and final citation has me listed as illegaly parked roughly 150 feet from where my car was booted. I was accused of threatening Security personnel, causing a public disturbence, and conspiracy to commit theft (taking my booted tire with me).
Theres about 40 or so parking spots designated as employee only, they are outlined in yellow as opposed to white, there is no posted signage designating them as Employee parking. I havent done a survey yet, but I imagine that at any given time during normal business hours there are between 150 and 350 "employees" working at the mall.
