WASHINGTON — Parking enforcement
officials in Fairfax County are reportedly issuing tickets to drivers
attempting fix the infractions they’re being ticketed for.
Auto repair shop owners tell The
Washington Post that they see enforcement officers writing tickets for cars
parked at their shops for infractions such as expired emissions tests or
inspections, even when the cars are at the shop to fix those problems.
Bruce Redwine, who owns a shop in
Chantilly, was arrested after an altercation with a parking enforcement officer
over one of these tickets. He said that the officer was writing a ticket for a
car that had been pulled into his shop for inspection.
Lt. Brooke Wright, a Fairfax
County police spokeswoman, told The Post that the property management company
has written to the department and allowed them to write tickets on the private
property. Without the letter, Wright says, they would have no authority to be
on the property.
