(Los Angeles) I was moving out the other day and I had a U-Haul truck with the ramp down parked parallel to the curb where I am legally allowed to park. An SUV pulls up behind and runs over the ramp. I confront the person who says I’m not allowed to park in “two-spaces” even though there’s no lines and the street was empty. He then proceeds to flash me a (sheriffs? six triangle badge in its own leather wallet with the badge mark embossed on the leather) even though he’s in civilian clothing.
Is there any validity to what he’s saying or is he just abusing power? Is he a real cop/sheriff? Lastly, even if he was, could he do this in civilian clothing in a non-government SUV? He said he was just there to pick up a friend.
Thanks for your help!
