I live in San Ramon California. I park my car on the street in front of my house. Every Monday I must find another place to park between 7:00 AM and 12:00 PM because of street sweeping. There are signs that are posted that state that you will be ticketed during this time if you are parked EXCEPT on Holidays. Today is Columbus Day. It is considered a federal holiday. The banks are closed, the post office is closed. Yet I look out my window and see the cop putting a ticket on my car. I ask him why he is giving me a ticket on a holiday and he replies "Today is a holiday???" I tell him it's Columbus Day, and he says, "Well, nobody gets Columbus Day off." Fine. But it's still a holiday! Is this something I should fight or am I out of luck? And I wasn't alone either, my next door neighbor also received a ticket thinking he wouldn't because of the holiday. Happy Columbus Day!
