The rent a cops at Oakridge are such dicks. It's been a while since I parked in the 20 minute loading zone and I didn't realize there was "Police Parking Only" right beside it. The other parking spots have poles with signs that say 20 minute convenience parking. I was coming from the Safeway side and there was another car that was not police so I thought it was just the same 20 minute parking.
Anyways I pull up and this security guy knocks on my window to roll it down and goes: "Are you a new driver?" and under his voice mutters "You must be a new driver let me see your N sign" then goes to the back of my car and asks me why i don't have my N sign up. Without even letting me know I'm in a police parking spot. Then proceeds to ask why I'm parked here I'm like I'm in the 20 minute convenience parking. And he keeps chewing me out saying "can I not see and why am I even driving".
He was talking with another woman there and he was like "Do you want to get your car towed like that other woman?", you're in a "Police Parking Only".
This is where I got livid, he was chewing me out instead of just politely telling me that I'm in a police parking spot. I told him he didn't have to be a dick about it and he kept going can you not see can you not see? "I'm going to call to tow your car away". At this point I'm rather angry and told him again to not be a dick about it. I reverse out and a car drove by which I stopped for and again he goes "OMG ARE YOU BLIND?!". Like dude I'm already going to move what's your problem, I saw the car coming and I stopped.
It was an honest mistake on my end when I didn't realize that I pulled into the parking spot and I don't understand why he couldn't have just asked nicely.
What really pissed me off even more though was I realized when I was walking to the mall that it was their car in the "Police Parking Only". Last I checked, being mall security doesn't make you Police. It's private property so they can do whatever they want, it's up to them to enforce the parking. I had to choose between picking up what I had to or asking them where their VPD badges were. Inner geek in me opted to pick up my Nintendo Switch. Tried to find them after and I couldn't, so I decided to leave them a note and called them to let them know a non police vehicle was in the spot.
