Letter to mccain and city
Dear Mr. McCain,
I am writing you concerning the misappropriation and use of the vehicle code in Glendale Arizona.
In June I received a traffic ticket for violating Section 28-644. A1 "Failed to Obey a Traffic Control Device" by Officer Robbins.
I had driven to my son's school to pick him up. As I came around the corner, I saw him walking up the street. I pulled up to the curb and stopped just long enough for him to safely enter the vehicle, approx 200 ft. Behind a no parking sign.
Office Robbins pulled me over and cited me for Section 28-644. A1 "Failing to Obey a Traffic Control Device". I asked where the traffic control device was and he stated it was the no parking sign 200 ft in front of my vehicle. I stated I should be cited for a parking violation at worst and not Section 28-644. A1, a moving violation. Although Officer Robbins was very courteous and professional, I felt he had not correctly cited me for the correct violation.
I challenged the summons in a Glendale court.in court, I clearly stated a "device" is something mechanical or electrical in nature. I was shocked when the Judge sided with the officer and convicted me with a moving violation (although I was parked) and a $131.00 fine. Clearly, something is going on with the mistreatment of motorists in Glendale.
I surely hope the Glendale police are not writing parking tickets for running red lights (a real traffic control device).
Sincerely,
Paul Murphy
