    Maroulis said she approached an illegally parked Dodge Charger behind the Wachovia Bank on Ludlow Street about noon Saturday and asked the occupant, identified by police as Ashley Dacons, 20, to move her car.
    When Dacons refused, Maroulis said she began to write a ticket. That's when, Maroulis said, Dacons opened her car door, striking her, and then punched her in the face.

    Yeah, that's sane. :ohwell:

    "So I come here. I'm working hard. I tried to grow my kids very good to learn to respect people," she said. "And the people that are born here, that have all the opportunity to be something, they destroy their lives for nothing."

    Excellent point, and all too true.

    Interesting court ruling:

    Court Says Using Chalk On Tires For Parking Enforcement Violates Constitution

    The next time parking enforcement officers use chalk to mark your tires, they might be acting unconstitutionally.

    A federal appeals court ruled Monday that "chalking" is a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

    The case was brought by Alison Taylor, a Michigan woman whom the court describes as a "frequent recipient of parking tickets." The city of Saginaw, Mich., like countless other cities around the country, uses chalk to mark the tires of cars to enforce time limits on parking.

    By the time Taylor received her 15th citation in just a few years, she decided to go after the city — and specifically after parking enforcement officer Tabitha Hoskins.

    Hoskins, Taylor alleged in her lawsuit, was a "prolific" chalker. Every single one of Taylor's 15 tickets was issued by Hoskins after she marked a tire with chalk, and then circled back to see if Taylor's car had moved. That chalking, Taylor argued, was unconstitutional.

    "Trespassing upon a privately-owned vehicle parked on a public street to place a chalk mark to begin gathering information to ultimately impose a government sanction is unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment," Taylor's lawyer, Philip Ellison, wrote in a court filing.
