Today, my local police department (Martinez, CA) told me that because I live on a privately owned road, they give zero fucks about any sort of parking/obstruction issues. Fire marshal says we have to pay to paint the curbs red because it’s a fire lane, cops don’t care if a car is parked in the middle of the street. They will only tow it if it has been reported stolen. I flat out asked him if that means I can park anywhere on the privately owned portion of the street, even blocking everyone in, and he said yes. I should have asked what other police services I was not entitled to but I had to hang up before I resisted arrest or something.
