Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Illegal parking tickets

Can a city put up temporary cones for street cleaning and issue parking tickets, then remove the cones. I parked in front of my house for 15 minutes and got one... the damn machine didn't show up for 5 hours later. The cones erected... there was only one on the whole street and i have video tape evidence of this.

I thought temporary cones could not be enforced.. that there had to be a sign etc etc.

Parking Violation

The authority of any city to change parking on a temporary basis must be set forth in the city charter.

Examine the documents carefully to see if they have complied with their own rules.
