Well, it looks like Entitled Army Man illegally parked his hideous gold Ford Focus (0876H) in the red zone again today, and invited one of his buddies to do the same (0884H). It’s quite apparent that these assholes really do believe they can do whatever they want, even though the rest of us minion civilians, would be ticketed or towed for doing the same exact thing. This kind of behavior is not a surprise though, seeing that U.S. military personal commit much more heinous acts and get with away it. For instance, killing 24 Iraqi civilians like Marine Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich did back and 2005.
You can see the gold Ford Focus behind the blue Ford Focus.

Found this Crown Vic parked in a red zone around the corner from the Baja Fresh on Sunset Blvd. No surprise the engine was left running. But whatevs, it’s only your tax dollars going to waste.
Let LAPD know how you feel about their officer(s) wasting your tax dollars.

Army Man illegally parks his U.S. Government vehicle (License Plate #0876H) in a red zone outside the Army Recruitment office on Hollywood Blvd at 10:55 am. I witnessed him park the vehicle, get out with two passengers, and enter the recruitment center. However, I was too far away to confront him about his arrogance of traffic law.
At 12:23 pm, Army Man still had his car parked illegally in the red zone. Of course, there wasn’t a parking ticket on the windshield. Double standards at its best in Hollywood.
Let your Army recruiter know how you feel regarding Army Man illegally parking his vehicle in a red zone (something you would be cited and possibly towed for doing) because a military uniform and U.S. Government license plate does give someone special rights.

Andrews International’s Security Guards #119 and Mr. Costa #128 are caught on camera parked illegally (something A.I. guards always do) to go shopping at Supply Sergeant in Hollywood, CA. Guard #119 hides his badge number, and Mr. Costa #128 intentionally makes physical contact with the videographer when asked for his badge number.
This is the third time within months that Andrews International’s security guards intentionally made physical contact with the videographer for recording them in public (watch here and here). A police report was filed for the first incident, however, since the City of Los Angeles and LAPD are in bed with Andrews International, nothing was done about them committing battery on a person.
Andrews International is not exempt from paying parking meters, and Parking Enforcement needs to start citing guards for parking their vehicles illegally. Because we all know everybody else who is not tied to the city is being ticketed for doing exactly what Andrews International is doing.
This behavior needs to stop, and Andrews International’s armed private security guards need to be pulled from actively patrolling Hollywood’s public streets and sidewalks and sent back to private property.
To voice your concerns regarding Andrews International’s security guards contact the following people and offices:

While waiting for OccupyLA members to arrive at the Wilshire/Normandie Metro station in Los Angeles, CA, an LA County Sheriff told two photographers not to photograph them.
At that point, a video camera was turned on to document the encounter, as the photographer defended his constitutional rights to take pictures in public.
The irony of the video is the fact, that at the beginning of the footage, the Sheriffs tell the photographers that photography is not allowed on the Metro (which is quickly rebuked by the photographer). However, five minutes into the video, the sheriff backtracks, and starts saying the opposite—so suddenly photography is allowed on the Metro?
And it is, in this case, for now, simply because the photographer knew his my rights and Metro policy and stood up to these Sheriffs.
This kind of behavior from police officers needs to stop. We can no longer allow them to continue harassing photographers exercising their constitutional rights while using the Metro.
To voice your concerns regarding this officer’s behavior, contact the LA County Sheriffs via this complaint form.
Alton Robinson recorded video at a New Black Panther Party march in April in Norfolk, Va. He panned the area, which included a Salvation Army event nearby being attended by his daughter. It also included several Norfolk police officers observing the march. The officers approached him and told him he was not allowed to record them. After Robinson protested, police arrested him.
OccupyLA and other groups set up shop on Hollywood and Highland to protest the imminent passage of the National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a provision allowing the indefinite military detention of any US Citizen deemed a “terrorist” by the government.
Video has surfaced of a City News Service reporter’s arrest by Los Angeles police officers as he tried to leave the Occupy LA encampment the night it was cleared out by cops and it appears to contradict the authorities’ original version of events.
