“Good citizens are held to standards and punished for trivial things.”
The video is Post on social media According to a KTVU-TV reporter, the video was recorded near Mint Plaza in San Francisco. The man who made the recording is unknown.
“San Francisco is the only place I get a $100 parking ticket, while they're banging and smoking next to my car!” says the man.
“I parked illegally, so I got a parking ticket so I could get into the office safely!” he added.

Critics on social media responded to the video by slamming liberal policies.
“Good citizens are held to standards and punished for small things like parking. Yet there are criminals who break windows and rob cars in broad daylight, and drug addicts who openly use drugs on the streets. ” said One critic.
“It's cute that they have the ability to police parking but can't stop drug use outside.” read Another reply.
“It's another tough day for hard-working Americans in California, a lawless, crime- and drug-infested state under corrupt Governor Gavin Newsom.” answered Another critic.
