This booting situation is getting out of hand. I walk to my car this morning and find that I have a boot.

In all truth..I parked my car at 9 25 to run up to my boyfriends apartment for 10 minutes, got back in my car and went to my sisters house ALL day and came back at 4 15 to go to my boyfriends apartment. So I call the parking authority and the woman tells me that I was parked all day and kept moving my car all day. I asked her if she followed me around all day...she said she knows what I was up to. I hung up, called back, and asked to speak to someone with a brain. She hung up on me haaaa! But seriously, how is that legal? How can they prove that And make false accusations?

The JCPA has been doing this for quite some time and they just don't care. Apparently everyone is trying to scam the city and the JCPA is never wrong. Ever.

Part of the problem is that the street signs say you can't park within the ZONE for more than 2 hours. So as far as the signs go, they are technically correct. However, unless they do follow a car around all day they will not know whether or not you have been moving from parking spot to parking spot. I do not know what the law actually states, so maybe the signs are really wrong.

I would fight the ticket using just this argument. Just remember, the burden of proof is on you. It will mean taking time off for the day, but if you do fight it, bring witnesses, notarized statements, and anything else that can prove your whereabouts for the given day.

Frankly, in the last several months, the JCPA has really begun to spiral out of control. I've heard of papal infallibility but never JCPA infallibility. In my opinion, I think the JCPA needs intervention and new oversight - and by oversight, maybe it is time the State Attorney General looked into their operation, audited them, and maybe even take over the operation until all issues are resolved. With the number of complaints that the JCPA generates, maybe it is time for the city to establish a Civilian Complaint Review Board. Maybe that would generate enough oversight and scrutiny to direct the JCPA to act in a professional manner that serves the people of this fine city in their best interest.

With the JCPA, the poor city services, the poor street conditions, the rumble strips where we don't need them, the horrible schools, and all that money we pay in taxes to get all of the above, these are all enough to start driving people out of Jersey City.

- Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

City Council is aware of this and I believe that the JCPA has now been made aware that just being in an area and then moving within it is not then to be considered parking the entire time.

there was a story in the Reporter about this about a month ago.
