On May 25, 2010, at 8:58 a.m., traffic officers from the Santa Monica Police Department received a call for service from the parking manager of the 1550 beach lot; Central Parking. The caller reported that several vehicles were in the parking lot refusing to pay.

Upon arrival, a Traffic Service Officer was advised by the attendant that eleven vehicles were parked in parking spots and had not paid. The attendant advised that his supervisor approached the news crew at 7:40 a.m. and advised them they needed to pay for the parking spots. The news crew promised to pay for the spaces before 9:00 a.m. When the attendant approached the news crew at 8:50 a.m. to pay for the parking spaces, they ignored him. The parking attendant contacted his supervisor to call the Santa Monica Police Department.

A Traffic Service Officer approached the news crew and advised them she was there to address the issue of not paying for the parking spaces. A representative from the news crew stated they had already paid for the spaces and had a permit. The traffic service officer asked the representative for the receipt and permits. The representative walked away and did not come back.

At 9:20 a.m., the traffic service officer issued four citations for failing to pay to the vehicles that were parked in parking spaces. Although the news reporter stated on the live television broadcast that they had paid for the parking spaces at the time the officer was issuing the citations, the news crew actually paid for the parking spaces at 9:40 a.m., after the citations were issued.

  • I don't understand the police press release. When you come into the parking structure, you get a ticket, you don't pay until YOU LEAVE, and the amount depends on how long you stay. Police insisting they didn't pay while they were still INSIDE the structure doesn't make any sense.

  • @ChaunceyDos I think this is a beach parking lot, so it works a bit different from a (mall or shopping center) structure, you pay for a ticket first and make sure to leave your day permit in a visible spot inside of your car. It always works this way in beach parking lots.

  • Santa Monica.. err.. once, I pulled into a beach parking lot, where it was clear that you had to pay at the box then leave your receipt in your window.. As I pulled in and began looking for an available space, I noticed a cop writing tickets.. she seemed very "eager".. anyway, found a spot and parked. Walked up to the box, bought my ticket 12:04 and walked back to my car and she was walking away from my car. On the windshield, a ticket for 60 bucks! Time 12:06.. I contested but LOST!! Mafia!

  • I just came back from Santa Monica pier lol. no tickets. :)

  • Why couldn't the KTLA douches just park in their own lot? Why do news reporters think they get a free pass for everything?

  • I'm speechless,I cant believe what I just found out. Thousands of car accident victims were left behind by the massive government bailouts of GM and Chrysler. The $50 billion (our tax money) rescue of GM and the restructuring of Chrysler allowed them to "wash away legal responsibility for car-accident victims who had won damages or had pending lawsuits," OMG just found out,NO VOLT FOR ME.
