Unpermitted American Taxi Driver Handcuffed; Illegal Vendors Unmolested
This is what corruptions brings.
A code enforcement officer arranged a sting for unpermitted taxi drivers in Sacramento city. They called a taxi based in a neighboring city, (an American), and requested he pick them up at a restaurant, just giving the address, not the city. The taxi owner arrives, picks up two code enforcement officers and starts to drive them to their destination. In a ruse, the code officers feign a forgotten item, and ask to return to the pick-up location. There, two Sac City Police detain the taxi driver for not having a city permit to operate. When I say detain, I mean in handcuffs. Then they issue the American taxi driver a penaly. Not a summons; Not a notice to appear, not a citation;...a penalty for two thousand dollars. As a side note, there is no trial. You get an appeal, where you are appealing a verdict issued without a trial. And the verdict is issued by someone who has a vested interest in the outcome. They work for the city. But...here is where the original outrage is. 6 taxi cabs were reported to have no permits. out of the 6, only 2 responded to the request (might even be entrapment). the sting required 2 cops and two code enforcement officers. In contrast, thirty illegal vendors were visible at the last mexican event only a few blocks from city hall. In addition, I have made requests that the illegal vendors be cited at numerous events over the past several years. None were cited, and my requests were not even reported. Black American unpermitted taxi driver = 2 thousand dollar penalty, and handcuffs Latino illegal unpermitted vendors by the scores = no charge Quote:
