Writing false tickets, suspended for 2 days? WTF

Postby kiryan » Thu Nov 04, 2010 4:24 pm

WTF is this. These officers wrote this guy false tickets and one of them got suspended for 2 days? These guys need to both be fired.

Ticket reports obtained by 9Wants to Know show Culhane issued a parking citation at 3281 S. Oneida Way in Denver. Nine minutes later, Culhane issued the handicapped parking ticket to Miscles at a location 12 miles away, on 18th Street. Then, records show Culhane wrote a third ticket six minutes after that near the first location, at 2978 S. Newport Street.
...
After conducting an investigation, the Department of Public Works suspended Culhane for two days. It did not discipline Madril.

This is so sad, the bullies clearly won the day.

Miscles says the ordeal has been such a hassle, he will never yell at a parking officer again.

"I'll never do that again because it cost me two days of work," Miscles said.

They should be fired.

And most likely they should be prosecuted. A ticket is essentially a court summons. The ticketing officer is the complainant. They likely must affirm under penalty of perjury that the information contained in the ticket is true to the best of their knowledge.
Having said all that, the situation has been handled, so this thread is pretty much at an end. -Kossuth
