how is that shady? if there is a 2 hour limit than obey by it lol, he's technically doing his job.. and if someone parks at the wrong store to go to another, of course you will get ticketed

To avoid DPS and the BS rules when going to Sushi Garden, I park on the sidestreet and pay $1 or 2.

IGNORE THEIR TICKETS BUT DO NOT PARK AGAIN AT THE SAME LOT.

why did you get a ticket? i thought TRU reimburses you when you buy something there

Before at the parking lot in the front on staples and sushi garden they would wait and see if you park at staples and go to sushi garden then ticket you for parking at the wrong spot.

But now that people are parking upstairs, they are marking people's tires as soon as they leave the car and as soon as the 2 hr limit is up they ticket people.

My friends and I went to sushi garden parked upstairs and had dinner, (and you guys know that sometimes you have to wait at sushi garden) got back and car was ticketed. check the ticket we were over the 2 hr limit by 5 mins. We checked when the car was marked and it was right after the left the car, and we can see the parking ticket guy sitting in his corolla waiting for people to leave and mark their tire right the way. Which is BS, this diamond parking company has some very sketchy business ethics, if we can even call it a business at all.

thanks for the heads up... i go to that churches chicken a lot and i park on staples lots sometimes, so this is good to know. but there isnt anything wrong with doing that since you are on a private lot managed by them with the rules in place.

well... i'm pretty sure the wife messed up and didnt bother buying a ticket at all...i mean come on, women cant drive already, let alone buy a ticket from a dispenser.

all i know is she came home complaining.. i saw 'DPS' on the ticket and told her to 'chill out... and forget about it'.

yes. some 'official' looking letter that had the fancy legal words like attorney and stuff.

parked at the saba road BMO to use the ATM earlier tonight, walked back to my car 5 minutes after i get a ticket saying "no valid ticket displayed. ATM area checked." i got fcking mad as shit WTF SON the signage says BMO customers free 30 minutes

although i didn't print my receipt after withdrawing (though i wish i had this time), i can get documentation from BMO stating i withdrew cash at that ATM on XXX time, signed by the bank employees... these fuckers better void the ticket

asr 05-01-2013 11:50 PM

^dps has a sign on the wall on each spot. IT say pay parking after 6 pm. It does not matter bmo customer or visitors. shady, huh? when you see a old corolla or black Acura legend in that lot, you need to be attention.

thats what i was thinking too. However on my ticket, they say " ATM area checked ", which means they care whether or not you are using the ATM

Drow 05-02-2013 04:25 PM

i pulled out all the documents confirming i was using the ATM at the alleged time frame, was also gonna pull out the security tapes too and shove it down their throat

then i realized i knew a manager at that branch so i called him up and he helped me take care of it.

but still jesus christ i'm so fucking choked, those ticketers are like fucking hounds

wanting to bait one of them out and then egg him down

that's terrible. they're probably just filling quota for their shitty graveyard shift. since most banks run their system on EST, i bet DPS would try to BS you..."no it says here you were at the ATM 3 hours later, but you illegally parked 3 hours earlier"

:rukidding:

Diamond parking and impark can suck both my nuts and the shaft

you can always just grab their machine and run away with it, or smash it in front of them

Was it from Wiggins? Literally lol'd when I got that. Attorney to take me to court for $87 on a reasonably ambiguous and dubious violation (no signs, no meters, just a shady private lot I used for an hour). So stupid and pointless.

it cost $150 alone just to file a civil action against you lol they'd lose money + time unless it was for a very large amount.

I hate to bring up this thread but I'm curious about this statement. You guys say to ignore the ticket since it's only 150. But doesn't the ticket price hike up and eventually hit large digits like $1000 like one of the members mentioned in one of these pages or another. Wouldn't they be able to sue you for the $1000+ dollars?

The price doesn't go up.

I've still got tickets from when I was going to Capilano University back in '01 that I haven't paid. They stopped calling after a few weeks of ignoring them. lol

I recently got a letter in the mail from Impark telling me I got a ticket for nonpayment while parking at the Kelowna stadium. Funny enough, I was at work in Langley during that exact time. I emailed them proof of my timestamp punches and they still told me they wouldn't rip up the ticket. Told 'em if they wanted to pursue it, I'll be contacting my family lawyer and filing a charge of harassment and extortion. Funny enough, I haven't heard from 'em since. :p

Kidnapman 09-05-2013 06:56 PM

oh I see, so that's how it is. Not sure where I heard people's tickets increasing in price as they didn't pay for more than 5 years. Thanks for the clarifications Lomac.

49th Parallel cafe.
Customers complained to the cafe owner re: DPS tickets.
Owner went out to the lot and asked DPS ticketeer "why are you ruining my business by pissing off my customers?" :thumbs:
DPS calmed down a bit with the zealous ticketing.

SoNaRWaVe 09-06-2013 07:15 PM

fuck DPS and Impark. if you're really scared, changing your plates would be cheaper and hassle free than dealing with those numb nuts. they be power tripping losers.
