re: Am I the a-hole, tow truck illegally parking across from my driveway.

Yea. That was hard core lost it crazy.

Honestly, has it all been worth it? I'm on your side on this one, but it sounds like this guy might enjoy being an a-hole.

Well I definitely regret watching that

I would make it about that truck and how he is probably drunk as frick driving it. Get his truck taken away. Ruin his life. Then maybe he will jump off a bridge.

Or he’ll murder OP then jump off a bridge. These kind of people really are scum. I just don’t understand a person’s mindset that tells them to double down on being a tpos when asked politely if they can do something simple like moving a truck.

Is he renting or buying ? If renting you should get a hold of his landlord and tell them what's going on. Also you need to get neighbors involved who are tired of his shite. If y'all have a HOA they are doing a shitty job.

You need to tell us who this guy is or the name of his business so we can all screw with him and make his life miserable. Think of it as a little bit of OT vengeance.

Agree on the neighbors. How close are the homes in your neighborhood? I can’t believe you’re the only one hearing him blowing the horn at all hours of the night.

Or is it possible the other neighbors are scared of him and don’t say anything?

I’m actually surprised they told him he couldn’t park in the neighborhood. I’m curious what legal justification (if any) they would have used.

I was thinking before that it might be some kind of zoning violation but I don’t think that’s enforced by BRPD. Regardless, I’m guessing he’s good and pissed off now.

(Ord. No. 14769, § 2, 9-9-09; Ord. No. 14801, § 2, 10-28-09)

The law is pretty clear.

He right maybe honking the air horn may not be against the law.
Parking in the residential area is, and he refused to enforce the law.
He also seemed to refuse to enforce the law, after you filed many complaints.

He does need to be fired or demoted.

You need to bring this up to your councilperson and file a complaint against him. Probably need to go to the media also. All jokes aside a commander should be more tactful.

They will be the first one crying if the metro council merges them with the sheriff’s dept. Then the Sheriff can fire these lazy officers without a civil service hearing.

Dude it is time to move if you are renting. Simple as that.
