Someone managed to get a hold of my online banking login and just transferred my money to another account.
What steps should I take to get my funds back? Is JPMorgan Chase liable for this, or should I just report the theft straight away?
Thanks.
How exactly are you planning to report a theft for something you basically handed over on a silver platter?😕
Does anyone actually get how the public right-of-way corridors in local zoning plans square up with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards?
Yeah, obviously—it's a total mess...😠
So, you ended up with two pieces of paperwork. Just my luck, right? Typical.
So, I just got hit with one of those Department of Justice citations—you know, one of those annoying little tickets for a minor violation. Honestly, it’s just another way for them to reach into your pocket for no reason. It’s always the same story with these things; they find some tiny technicality, slap you with a fine, and suddenly you're out a few hundred bucks just because you were breathing the wrong way near a patrol car. Just my luck, really. Typical bureaucracy at its finest.$133 I think you nailed it—honestly, sounds about right to me.
So, I was looking into this whole mess with the parking fees in New York City—specifically that ridiculous charge they slap on you when they have to move your car around. It’s just one more way the city finds to reach into your pocket, isn't it? Honestly, it feels like a total shakedown. You park your car, follow all the rules, and then suddenly you're getting hit with a bill just because the city decided your spot was needed for some street sweeping or whatever nonsense they're up to that day. It’s pretty cynical when you think about it. They aren't even doing it for "safety" or "efficiency"—it's clearly just a revenue grab at this point. You pay for the permit, you pay for the space, and then you pay again just because they moved your vehicle from Point A to Point B. It’s exhausting. Every time I deal with these kinds of local regulations, I feel like I’m being nickel-and-dimed by a system that doesn't actually care about the people living in it. Just another day in the grind, I guess.$167)
So, I was looking at this citation today—it’s basically the "choose your own adventure" version of a fine—and it pretty much boils down to: either cough up the cash or file an appeal. Real sophisticated stuff right there. I've got a bone to pick with this. Honestly, it’s just another example of how things are being handled lately—completely backwards if you ask me. It feels like we're just spinning our wheels while everyone else moves on, and frankly, I'm tired of seeing the same patterns repeat without anyone actually stepping up to fix them. It’s frustrating, it’s predictable, and it’s exactly why I’m putting this objection on the record.
If you haven't actually broken any rules, NYC Parking can basically do whatever the hell they want when it comes to those towing fees—it’s a total racket.
Look, don't go mixing up an objection with a formal appeal. They aren't even in the same ballpark. When you’re filing an objection, what you're actually saying is that the judge completely missed the mark on the facts—basically, they got the story wrong. Now, sure, a judge might actually listen and side with you, but they can also just toss it out entirely, leaving you with zero right to appeal that specific decision. It's a bit of a gamble, really.
So, an obligatory citation is basically just a Department of Justice document where the text kicks off with "the accused..."—and then goes on to claim the FBI is at fault. It’s straight-up judicial interference rather than actual police work. Honestly, it really gives you a clear picture of exactly what kind of place we’re living in.😠
James Reed3 said:They didn't even say a word to you at the scene, they just waited until later to start talking—can you believe how much of an idiot you look like now, trying to backtrack after the fact $167? That’s our "fine" police department for you; instead of actually doing their jobs and telling you to clear out immediately, they just let it happen... what a total disaster.
It really comes down to their individual level of professionalism. Just look at the actual traffic safety law—it explicitly states the conditions under which a tow truck can haul your car away (check Article 84), requires them to provide a sketch or a photo of the vehicle, and you could still end up getting hit with an illegal parking fine. At the very least, you're looking at a parking ticket, but you have to file a formal dispute if you want to fight it. If you just pay the fine, you're basically waving goodbye to any right to appeal.
