These two monstrosities are rarely moved, and have been cited for being parked on this street when sweeping is scheduled. Great - but how are you going to collect, parking enforcement? Both have been around for several months, so you'd think the authorities would wisen up and tow these heaps away. Nope, because when it comes to enforcing parking and registration laws in California, common sense isn't.

This car not only has out-of-state license plates, but the tag expired more than 2 years ago. It was reported on the CHP web site about ten months ago.

August 2 UPDATE: The CHP compliance officer now claims that the scofflaw actually paid the required fees several weeks ago. Why, then, I ask, does the car still have the Florida license plates?
