Description

I watched this individual pull up to 57 S. Main Ave and park his Albany Parking Enforcement vehicle in front of his own house (or a friend's house... not sure). He decided to park right in front of the house he was entering despite the "No Standing" sign. Apparently the individual couldn't find the energy to pull up one more spot further (about 12 feet) where it was a legal AND wide open spot. Heck, it was a wide open street! He was inside the house for quite some time. Then I watched him come out of the house and sit behind the wheel playing with his phone. The entire time the street was wide open. I find it ironic that his job is to enforce the city's parking rules, yet he can't even follow them himself when he is on his lunch break. He must be above the law when he's on lunch. It must be a nice perk to use city tax-payer resources to drive to his home. One reason I am posting this is our neighborhood has been getting parking tickets for blocking our own driveways on alternate side of the street evenings. I don't even see the logic in this, but if rules are rules, then take a good look at this picture and let's have a conversation about rules. This occurred 11/7/2014 around noon.
