Getting a ticket from the Mountain Recreation and Conservation Authority is not the same as a ticket issued by a cop or a Highway Patrol officer. It doesn’t count against your driving record or your insurance rates. But failure to pay can impact your credit score and possibly result in debt collectors coming after you.

    A CONSERVATION CORPS does NOT have authority to do that. THEY SHOULD BE SUED FOR IMPERSONATING LAW ENFORCEMENT! and IMPOSING ILLEGAL FINES! THIEVES!

    Sounds like someone looking for free money.
  • @LuckyBaldwin777
    Once they let HOAs fine people for breaking their rules, that opened the floodgates for everyone to do it. This crap needs to be reined in.
  • @TnTHedo
    Go ahead and shoplift $999 without any consequence. "Roll" through a stop sign and suddenly you are held liable.
  • @teejaybee8222
    Got one of these. Didn't pay. They put these in the most random places to trick people into rolling the stop. For example, I got mine at the Top of Topanga area on Topanga Cyn Road. They put the stop sign about 25-50ft behind where you actually merge onto the road so you end up going a bit further beyond the camera sensor and they "catch" you in the act. With the stop sign so far back, you are unable to see if cars are coming safely, so any (safe) driver will pull out further than the stop sign so they can see over the crest of the hill before merging. It's deceptive and not in the interest in safety (no pedestrian crossings or other hazards nearby) and all to generate revenue for MRCA. I can understand wanting to get some revenue to keep up the park, but this is the wrong way to do it. Do it like any other park and charge parking fees.
  • @minlou4639
    Tough times when your local park officials have to become scammers. But they think it’s ok because they put signs up letting you know.
  • @tfustudios
    But participating in a sideshow, shooting off guns will not.
  • @Trollemharder
    Send me a FAKE ticket, I'll be seeing you in court.
  • @arthouston7361
    The irony is that stopping and then accelerating causes more emissions than a roll.
  • @cincoosaan
    Sounds like blackmail, and now I smell a lawsuit.
  • @numlol1
    I got one of these in the mail from a car I used to lease and was turned in. What i wanna know is why does these tickets bypass insurance rates and impacts credit score? Something really shady is happening here somebody is getting rich in this gray area.
  • I live in locally, I have been repeatedly told by police officers they must witness an infraction to issue a citation for a loose leash violation. Multiple letters and countless videos of the pitbull nextdoor jumping the fence charging people on the sidewalk, charging dogs being walked on leashes, repeatedly running onto my property to get my little dog, almost running inside my home and nothing can be done until it bites someone. One officer told me he was an ‘expert on Constitutional Law’ and they will never accept security video to issue a citation for an infraction. I am repeatedly told an officer must witnesses the infraction. I have provided over a dozen videos and nothing. Yet when a traffic camera makes money for a city, county, or public park THEN those videos are allowed to hold someone accountable for an infraction violation. Public safety vs revenue.
