Loophole allows gov't workers to avoid tickets
SACRAMENTO, CA - Countless government workers throughout California are taking advantage of a loophole that lets them get out of paying a parking ticket, a toll violation or a red light camera fine.
That's because certain positions allow them to keep their Department of Motor Vehicles' information confidential, including their home addresses.
"Toll road companies or anybody that administrates those electronic cameras are unable to get an address and send a ticket to," said Assem. Jeff Miller, R-Corona.
The law originally was meant to keep criminals from going to the homes of police officers and judges. But lawmakers expanded the list over the years to include park rangers and security officers at museums, even council members.
DMV now has more than one million vehicles registered to motorists connected to 1,800 state and local government agencies allowed to shield their addresses.
