Big Government desperate for cash…
CBS News in Pittsburgh is reporting that citizens are being ticketed for parking in their own driveways. Officers are selectively enforcing the law, finding homeowners who don’t comply with the “30 foot” rule and writing them fines of up to $2,400.
“We’re no longer allowed to use our driveway to park, because of a law that says you have to park at least 30 feet away from the street,” said Freedman. She says there wouldn’t be space to park 30 feet back between her home and the neighboring one because it’s just too narrow. A pregnant mother of seven who lives across the street is trying to follow the rule, but can’t get out of the driver’s side of her van anymore. She has to crawl out of the passenger’s side when she parks the vehicle between her home and her neighbor’s.
The law is said to have originated sometime in the 50’s or 60’s.
