My Dad went to a funeral last week. And there were a lot of people there. So he parked in a private lot witch is open to the public. And he got a parking ticket.
20 others got one too. I guess they now have to chip in to pay for 350-400 Marlboro street. And I guess you now have to walk to a funeral if you don't want a ticket nor does the city care about people resting in peace.
For the Calendar:
Hearing at 9am on 3/21 in Keene.
We just don't pay the parking tickets.
Which parking lot is that one?

I believe it was the Grange parking lot.
Would the company have wanted to ticket the people? I can't really see that happening.
Yeah, something's not right. If it's a private lot, but open to the public, and no signs restricting who can park there or when, then what was the basis for the tickets?
Jerks felt like they needed more stolen funds.

I think the National Grange lot has signs on it.

Shouldn't park there then, but, did the Grange folks make a complaint?

What do you mean? Shoudnt park there? That was a big funeral for one and for 2 there was no other parking anywheres else. And the Grange is closed on Satudays so what difference would that make.
This is bad as parking on lawns and the City and a bunch od busy bodys making it a crime to park on lawns.
Then you have some clowns with in this city that want to charge a $100 fine for parking on lawns. For Christ sakes there other problems in this city that need to be addressed instead of raping people for parking in parking lots and lawns.
How about this city fix the sidewalks so the old ladys are not falling out of there wheelchairs on Marlboro st for one.
Next you'll need a permit to have a BBQ in your backyard. This is nothing more then the next step for Big Brother.
Go Dude!

If the Grange had no parking signs then you shouldn't park there! What part of no tresspassing on private property don't you understand?
The funeral home should make some kind of agreement with the grange for when they are not using their parking lot, but, they didn't.
You should pay the tickets and the money should go to the Grange, not, the city.

BTW.... that is crazy that you can't park on your own damn lawn.
A while back the police came to the house across the street from us. They parked on the lawn.
I don't know if the grange has signs on their lot ...... on saturdays and sundays it is empty.
What day is your dad's hearing?

It was surprisingly quiet in the Keene PD. They use intercoms to communicate to people. Big building for not much activity.
There's very little real crime in Keene. We sure don't need all those policemen.
They are a deterrent!
Rrrriiighhggt. ::)
I say fire 2/3 of them.

At night or on saturday or sunday .... I would be comfortable parking there.

Even if that is so. It was a big funeral. And my Dad is 74 years old and you can't expect him to park 7 blocks away.
I'm sure that his pickup truck parked there for an hour and a half did not hurt anyone.
geee there was 20 others parked there for the same service.
And they got tickets as well.
If that is so, it is important! Do you think property rights are 'qualified' because there was a big funeral next door?
You should complain to the funeral home for not making arrangements for overflow parking.
The cops should not have ticketed unless there was a complaint from the Grange and then the money should go to the grange.

So where should he have parked then? And then why does the City ahve to be cold harted on this issue/ Funeral for crying out lowd. It was not like he had parked there to take a stroll through the park.
There should have been no tickets. End of story. And I'm glad to see that your pro active for the City of Keene. ::) ::)
If you read my posts you will see I am for private property. We could leave the city out of it by the Grange confiscating the cars and holding them for ransom.
It is not the grange's responsibility to provide parking foranyone.

So you really don't know anything about Keene nor are you from here. So why butt in busineess that does not pretain to you? Sense your not from Keene?
Actually, my Great Grandfather moved to Keene in 1878, but, that is beside the point. I don't believe the right and control of private property is any different in Keene than anywhere else.

Well your post #11 has a some what of a different tune. Right?
Happy Dude, you can ignore Lloyd on this ... he's just grumpy cause he can't get his LSD anymore (since he's so old, he's lost all his high school drug connections). ;D

No, My tune has not changed. Why don't you quit while you are just a little behind.
And ignore those other two. They're just upset about missing out on the '70's.

Yes, but, not in the '70's
LLoyd is entirely correct.

Nice to see you taking on the big issues. You and your dad should just pay the ticket and more on. Your lives are precious. Each minute even. So fight the state over more important matters and expend your energies in more meaningful ways.
This is sincere. From the heart.

If I had your money I would burn mine. The point of the matter is that The City of Keene is out to screw the working class and the elderly.
And we can't let them take away our rights and run everyone into the ground with there greed.
You don't like it when people crap on you. Well that is why we stick up for our rights.
can someone post Keene pd number here , maybe we can call them and ask what's going on...maybe they can verify whether there was a complaint from the grange folks and/or signs. In any case whenever they do something vaguely controversial vis a vis liberty we need to get in the habit of calling them.
here it is: bureau of parking enforcement 603.357.9845
questions I have for them... Did this happen on a weekend? Were the funeral-goers in some way inconveniencing anyone or was the parking lot basically not in use at the time they parked there?
were there other places these people could have parked or was this their only option? Did the property owner express a general or specific desire to have people ticketed who park there?

Thanks for posting that. But we did go to there office and they said go to court in a very arrogant tone.
If the ticketing occurred at the Grange parking lot, some (if not most) of those parking spaces are owned by the City of Keene and reserved for officers of the law or the court (since the court is, or was, nearby,).
Now, don't misunderstand me ... I'm NOT saying the ticketing was justified. Just trying to get into the head of the oppressor and understand what he was thinking.
If you don't pay the ticket, what will happen? I've never got in any trouble for not paying parking tickets.

arright. i called parking enforcement and asked the questions that I've listed above.

No I just left a voice mail it was after hours.
I guess you'll need to try again.
See, you guys have lots of stuff to report on right in Keene. :)

I got a call back from Ginger at Keene PD answering some of my questions today. I told her I was with NHfree.com and would faithfully report what she told me to our website where we are discussing the issue.
She said as she understood it the people ticketed were not parked at the Grange but in city owned spots which were rented by private individuals for their use mon-sat. She said this ticketing happened on a Saturday I believe. She also said they would not give a parking ticket to someone parked on private property.
Whether the city is right or wrong on this I hope it will help that whenever they do something of some slightly controversial nature they find themselves answering questions from us amateur new media types.

That was the Gilbo st lot. And on a Saturday It was not the parking lot near the court house.

Unless you park on your front lawn. >:D
The hearing was set for today. And they called this morning and said that they were not going to go through with it.
^-^So We're not going to let it rest though. Because we feel that they'll just screw someone else over in the same position. And the bottom line is that they should not treat people like that.
Interesting
Happy dude is back :)
