Parking in West Hollywood

I parked in the red.

I walked across the street, went up to my apartment, delivered my mother her medication, walked back to my car to find the officer beginning to write his citation.

 

Across the street, parked in the red, was a commercial truck (plumbing).

 

When I asked, the officer said, "They told me they were leaving soon.  If you had had your hazard lights on, I would have thought you were in these apartments and returning soon."

 

I may park for 90 seconds in the red, but I don't put my hazard lights on when it isn't a hazard.

 

Please forgive this ticket, it is obvious that the parking laws are not consistently applied.
