Exclamation Watch Out for the Police @ Buena Park Mall

I go to the 24 Hour Fitness Gym at the Buena Park Mall regularly and I have noticed that Buena Park Police Department have increased their patrols through the parking lot and write up tickets for many of the cars in the parking lot.

By increasing their presence, I mean I see them all the time as I go to that gym 5 or 6 days a week.

So tonight, after I finished my gym session, I parked my car over on the other side of the mall to go to Walmart. I parked far away from everyone and I found a folded up ticket wedged in between the in the crevice of my sunroof that was left tilted open.



So, I think I am going to take the beater there from now on

You know CA is desparate when the no front plate fine is higher than parking in the red zone AND near a fire hydrant.

108 for no front license plate thats ridiculous, they use to be 10 bucks about two years ago.. amazing.

*Parking far far away from everyone is just going to make you stand out more. I know you don't want dings and etc i try not to park to close to the entrance where all the wreckless drivers are.

Is that even legal? Sounds like you were in the mall parking lot, ie private property. I am no expert, but isn't that like them walking on your property to ticket your project car on the driveway that won't be road-worthy for months.

Happened to me once too, but they got me for tint and no front plate. I do not remember the price but I mine fixed. I was actually parked closer towards the entrance, so I don't think it matters where one parks.

That sucks! Sorry to hear you got a ticket for that. I got one for no front license plate when I had an Audi and the ticket was like $25 but that was a couple of years ago.

When I got pulled over for having front tint and loud exhaust, the cop was cool and liked my reasons for having a front tint so he just gave me a warning but he did tell me that tickets for tint, plate, lights........... any fix it ticket were going to become much more expensive here in CA.

I wasn't going to put on front plate when ever it comes but man $108 and than taking a day off of work to go to the police station.................. might have to just put it on.

the cop couldve easily left the ticket on the windshield, as most do. wonder why they went to the trouble of stickin it on the sunroof...in any case, this shouldve been a fix it ticket. and $108 is atrocious. i knew the fine would increase from a few years ago, but this is just getting out of hand.
