so apparently, i've sufficiently pissed off the stanford DPS to the point that they are done with 'warnings'.
some time ago, they issued me a couple warnings for having my car up on ramps and "non-operational". they claimed this constituted and 'abandoned vehicle', and claimed the right to tow. well, i took the car off ramps and moved it over a spot. problem solved.... until now. put the car up to install the engine. engine installed, transaxle installed, axles are on the cv joints, everthing good to go except the exhaust (long story). was gone ONE HOUR this afternoon, and i come back to find a red tow notice on my car! they have to go through a bunch of hassle to tow it apparently, so my 'tow date' is april 14th, but they can do it sooner if they wish. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bs.gif) guess they don't want me working on my car here, huh?! hey, stanford: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) |

your opinion has some extra weight, chris, so thank you.
in fact, though, it's not on public property, but rather private stanford-owned property. so this looses the legal definition of abandoned, but also gives the landowner some extra weight to do make the rules themselves. still, i believe that stanford DPS is beholden to Santa Clara County codes, as it is by a Memorandum of Understanding between the university and the Sheriff of Santa Clara County that the DPS has their legal authority. i actually believe that i'm probably legally in the wrong (i'll still fight it to the end!), but morally in the right. oh well. |
