Angry because He got Busted by SMPD for Selling Used Parking Receipts



From Santa Monica Close Up:

"Santa Monica Police Officers swiftly responded to a call from traffic control officers who had encountered an individual engaged in the illicit reselling of used parking receipts at the Santa Monica Beach Public Parking lot. The incident took place on July 10, 2023. Upon arrival, the officers detained the man in question in order to conduct essential identity verification and background checks. Subsequently, they proceeded to issue him a cautionary advisory.

It is important to highlight that fraudulent theft, particularly through the means observed in this case, is generally classified as a misdemeanor offense. However, depending on the cumulative value of the fraudulent activities, the charges could potentially be escalated to a felony.

During the course of the interaction, the man exhibited a confrontational attitude, accompanied by audacious assertions of intending to continue his unlawful practices by reselling used tickets at other public parking lots.

This incident represents an ongoing and recurring problem that has plagued the beach parking lots for a significant period of time."
