That's a RIOT! Gotta love Capitola! Can Santa Cruz borrow these guys for a few days? Lots of 'litter' to clean up here.

However, I don't think I understand what you are saying. Maybe you're being sarcastic? The guy has a stolen vehicle. If he threw the citation at the officer, that is an assault on a public official. And I believe most of their parking enforcement is done well by the officers in wheelchairs. So, the officer issues a citation to a stolen vehicle without knowing so. Then the address or license plate # that is on the citation goes to the owner of the car. Unless the thief tried to register it in his name...(wouldn't happen... would have been caught already). So are you saying that the owner of the car should pay for the citation and late fees? They didn't know where the car was and hopefully have it back today without damage.

The police are so lazy. All the parking enforcement officer had to do was bend over and pick-up the ticket. He could have bought a 44 cent ticket, and used a envelope from the CPD. The address to mail it to was on the citation, so it wold be easy for the office to copy the address onto the envelope. The poor guy could have been saved all the trouble of being cited and having his medication confiscated. Now the courts are really going to be backlogged. Sheesh!
