Code Enforcement Attempts to fine resident $4520 00 For Tire Low on Air

If you think this is bad, check this out • County Commissioner's ...

Fraudulent fines and attempted robbery!
Attempts to fine them for $4520.00 for a tire that was low on air? Even if it was completely flat, is this the purpose of government?
We wonder how much work this taxpayer had to loose to waste his time in Code Enforcement Kangaroo court.

It’s hard to tell with the grass hiding the bottom of the tire. But, is he saying that any tiny thing that makes the vehicle temporarily inoperable must be constantly monitored and immediately addressed? That’s an unreasonable expectation.

@Vhs Vcr--CORRECTION: Low tires, which in Calif. is even More dangerous! Because Low tires are not a driving hazard, but rather, since low pressure reduces gas mileage, it adds to the problem of Global Warming. That's why EVERY repair/maintenance service at a Repair Facility REQUIRES BY Calif. STATUTE, that the air pressure of tires be put at Mfg Specifications. I'm NOT joking!

@@ronmcmartin4513 Uh, yes, low tire pressure IS a (real) danger. Especially with front wheel drive vehicles, if/when you have to hit the brakes in a hurry, the vehicle will "pull" in the direction OF the low tire. Imagine driving on a two lane highway, or on a highway with multiple lanes in one direction, with a low left front tire; applying the brakes quickly and hard, the vehicle will move at least a little amount INTO the lane to the vehicle's left (it would depend on HOW low it is, how far over it will go) possibly putting vehicles IN that lane in danger of being struck. If a motorcycle was the "other" vehicle, death of the operator OF the motorcycle is a quite possible result.

Code enforcement is no different than an HOA inspector. They exist merely to write up perceived violations and to extort money from you.
