- The plaintiff’s car was towed by the defendant’s towing company. She says the defendant never informed her or the local police that her car was moved, and now she’s being ordered to pay thousands. She’s suing for damages. The defendant argues there were tickets on the car, and he was ordered to move it. He says he was just following protocol.

#PeoplesCourt #RealityTV #Court
If you’re going to block driveways, you better keep an eye on your car and don’t stay long. 😂😂
Bet she won't block someone's driveway again. I've had someone block me in, so I know how frustrating it is as a homeowner. Just don't do it -- can be very costly!
My driveway and mailbox gets blocked a lot. Waiting for no parking signs to get installed by the city. If they want their car, don’t block peoples driveways
He's doing a good job of defending his company
I hope he starts requiring the drivers to take photos from all angles, from now on
I agree
Fantastic. He was clean cut and prepared so professionally 😎👍
I feel it is fair she pay for the ticket and the tow, but all of the storage fees should be paid by the police who failed to register the tow.
That's what will happen but she'll have to turn around and sue the police department for that amount. Usually what happens is she won't though because it's too much effort after going through this and losing
If I know government, they wiggle out of it and say, "If you hadn't parked there, wouldn't be a problem in the first place!" Then again, they may make a deal to avoid court.
This happens all the time. It happened to me. Shameful. My car was stolen. I called every other day to see if the car was found. Finally, I was told my car was recovered after 2 weeks of it being in the tow yard.
Man both of them were on point…. Both had their ish together
Only one of them had their ish together!
Both litigants were well prepared, and the decision was fair.
To park blocking 2 other people from using their spaces, and overnight yet, is totally thoughtless and entitled. She's probably parked illegally many times before, but after this expensive and time consuming situation, might be more careful.
I Agree with you this probably was not her first time I bet you she won’t do it again though,lol
It's easy to do if you're in a rush. I accidentally parked in front of a driveway to meet a client. Unfortunately, I wasn't running late and wasn't paying attention. Fortunately, I only received a ticket and was not towed. If I remember correctly, this was the only property with a driveway on the block where I parked. I arrive early enough to not have to rush and I'm super careful about paying attention to my surroundings.
Entitlement doesn’t learn. She’ll doit again. Its not her fault!/sarcasm
@danir6695 that's what I was thinking...she will definitely roll those dice 🎲 again...
How do we know she’s done it before? What gives it away?
So... just don't block anyone's driveway. problem solved.
Exactly! She comes.off entitled and I don't feel sorry for her realizing she didn't just block one driveway but TWO!
She wasn't really complaining that she shouldn't have been towed, only that she shouldn't have to pay for almost a month worth of storage when she couldn't find where her car is due to the city not logging it in.
That wasn't even the issue. Oh lord.
@@ThisIsDjYigytugdTrue. But her blocking 2 driveways does make her come off as entitled.
@@peterlee584 remember, her case wasn't about whether she should have been towed or not, it's about her having to pay for almost a months worth of storage when it wasn't her fault that no one filed her car as even being towed.
I get the tow company guy isn’t responsible. But dang that’s a lot of money to be out. It doesn’t sound like she really has much of a chance in getting paid by the city. I guess the only thing you can do is watch where you park. Or get dropped off where you’re going and get picked up in the morning.
@@margaretakins6829
Exactly!!! They don’t put out signs just for giggles they mean it. And Yea she could have not waited for conformation and just started calling EVERY tow company right away.
thank you for your blessing Doug of "you did a good job"...I know that means a lot to him
So wait she left her car there until 1pm the next afternoon?! Wow the nerve to inconvenience her relatives neighbors like that. So incredibly inconsiderate
Yes!!! The nerve. Ppl can't get out until she decides to get up. Entitled
u r so right mellisa
@@tricetaylor7918So true!!
1 am. They towed it overnight
@@tricetaylor7918 what if there’s an emergency (fire, health care, accidents) ???
I would love a follow up to this
She shouldn't have ignored the sign🤷♀️
If there isnt a spot and u cant drive around anymore, Just throw in the towel. Too Much hassle.
Yep...this was totally unavoidable
Hopefully it taught her a lesson.
I feel for her, and she did everything right to try to find out where her car was, and then it turns out the police department screwed up! Going after the police department, good luck with that. Anyways, ppl and maybe she’s one of them, they feel they can park where ever they want, if she would’ve obeyed the sign she wouldn’t b in this position in the first place. This was a very expensive lesson for her.
I'm sorry she had to go through this and have these expenses BUT, If SHE hadn't parked where she wasn't supposed to park, she wouldn't be in this position! Some people DO NOT accept ACCOUNTABILITY for their OWN actions! This whole mess started with HER!!
Yeah, I think she gets that part.
Yes, we all make mistakes. And I'm sure you made a mistake or 2, but this is no the police. Instead of eating donuts and harassing ppl do you job.
@Wezzman This was NOT a mistake it was a CHOICE she saw the sign ignored it & decided to illegally park her vehicle anyway blocking a private driveway. Plantiff felt so Entitled to inconvenience someone else without any consideration. Has alot of nerve to come out all willy nilly at 1pm act surprised that her car has been towed. Good luck trying to litigate with NYC they won't take any Accountability plus use our tax payer funds to defend their lack of professionalism and incompetence.
@@cindywilliams8188 Your "choices" in life can also be a mistake. Y'all kill me with arrogance.
@@KennuhWayne Nah common sense NOT arrogance. Her "Decision" had intent to clearly disobey a large sign stating NO Parking. Unless she's also illiterate.
Plz GTFOH with lame excuses for her actions 🚫 accountability.
"Mistake" 🤣😂
Cost her 💰 hope she learned somethin
Oh that’s terrible hard lesson to learn, but unfortunately she had to learn it that way I guess she won’t block anybody’s driveway again🤦🏾♀️
She's too grown to be to "learn" to not be a jack-ass in parking 🙄
And then lay TF around until "past noon" the next day ( She said she didn't come back until 1pm the next freaking day)
I can give grace 🙏 for late-night, hard to find parking situations .....
I get coming in late 1, 2, 4 in the a.m. and the perils of parking and having to walk 5 blocks back to the house.....Got it
I wouldn't eff with someone in that scenario...
What makes it jack-assness is not getting your LAZY ass up ... until AFTER-fucking-NOON ...the next day
We all know "somebody" has to get up and go to work, school, church/whatever
It ticks me off when "iffy parkers" don't just get TF up in morning and move their GD car.....
Yes I know at 3am you couldn't find a park...but eff up ...not all the way through until AFTER lunch
Now you're being an entitled lazy ass
Yes, she shouldn't have parked there, but the case isn't about her being towed, it's about her having to pay almost a months worth of fees because no one could tell her where her car is. The lot had it for all this time but the city and the lot couldn't (or didn't) relay that information to the car's owner. Now she is out much more than she would have been if someone filed the paperwork when it was towed.
I was hoping I’d see this comment among all the “she deserved it” comments. Her parking choices literally aren’t the subject of the case.
@@margaretakins6829 it's NYC, you know how many tow companies are in the local areas? She also has no proof that it was even towed. Hence why she eventually tried to report it stolen, and that's when someone finally got back to her that it wasn't stolen.
I also can’t help but to wonder if that is by law they have to wait 15 days to do a lien search. Or is that the tow company’s policy. Because if that’s their policy that policy sounds llegal. 15 days allow it to rack up all these fees. And then and only then you try to find the driver yourself to collect your money. Not moving in anyway to mitigate your damages. Seems like that policy or law only benefits tow companies.
I don’t feel bad for her. She brought this entire situation on herself.
💯
Exactly 💯. She chose to park there, and the resident wouldn't have called if she wasn't blocking it. Did you catch her say she got up at 1pm?
She parked right on the yellow side walk😂😂 she knew her car could be towed
A parking ticket probably wouldn't have taught her, this might.
This is totally a plaintiff problem. Could she have been anymore selfish parking her vehicle in that little itty bitty spot and block in not just one but TWO driveways?
You know what they say, FAFO.
Then try to skip thru & minimize her poor decision by stating gwr vehicle half way blocked girl is that like being lil bit pregnant in her warped sense of logic. Instead she inconvenienced 2 households with NO remorse. Also she needs to think abt whose driveway she was blocking. Maybe a fellow NYC PD or someone knows someone affiliated/connections to the police. Only teach her a very expensive lesson
See what happens when you park in a NO PARKING zone? You don’t need a sign do you? How about use common sense and judgement.
Great case. Wasn't sure in which direction this would go. But I can't help but to feel empathy for the plaintiff because she did everything possible to find the whereabouts of her vehicle after the towing. Compelling case
Empathy? That was on her, she should’ve bot block someone’s driveway
@MrV41N do you have a crush on Adrian? You think about him alot....always looking for his attention
Couldn't say anything about her being "racist" this time around, huh? She even helped the plaintiff in the event she tried to sue a city. Hmm. Maybe JM isn't so bad after-all, eh?
@@AK_is_WORTHLESS
@@k0chana6Exactly.
Plaintiff is prepared this is rare
So did the defendant
Seems like both must watched the show before. They were very prepared and very civilized. It’s nice to see people actually understand what they need to do/being to court. It always baffles me when they walk in with nothing.
Have a wonderful week and I hope it’s easy breezy for everyone. Remember to not sweat the small stuff. 😊
Actually seems hard to believe capital one didn't notify her immediately in early January bcuz they want their payment. More to her story she NOT saying probably didn't have proper insurance documents to get it out of tow. She also doesn't know whom driveway she was blocking perhaps someone with connections to teach her a very expensive lesson.
I don’t feel sorry for her! No way if her relatives live there and she spent the night she’s probably been there before plus she’s from New York and I’m sure all residents know how parking is there so it’s her fault for parking in a space that is a no parking space. They should put another sign there that says no parking too because clearly there’s no room.
What? 🥴
I hope that the tow company helped the plaintiff with her case against the city. I could see the city attempting to put the mistake on the tow company if they weren't present.
@@margaretakins6829 unfortunately that's not evidence in this case. She would need proof that the cop didn't file that paperwork. This video only shows hearsay from the judge that someone at that department may have said he forgot. That's not proof.
@@ThisIsDjYigytugd the proof is in the fact that she called the police department multiple times has recordings and badge numbers of all the officers she spoke to with them saying that the tow was never logged. But the tow company has proof that they did log it. And it was the officers job to log it into their system. So who else dropped the ball but the New York cpd.
Happy Monday🎉
There is no way they should be allowed to wait 15 days to try to find the owner. Thats absolutely ridiculous
Tried to do my Sunday errands yesterday and a car was blocking my driveway. Called the city and they never showed up. Car left 3 hours later
How can the police department have sovereign immunity but a civilian cannot be considered a sovereign citizen which in essence incorporates sovereign immunity?
She probably will never see that money.
As she shouldn't. She was illegally parked
This show pays an appearance fee and the judgement if the plaintiff wins.
@@Sunintheam8 True, the main reason why you go on TV. Winner and loser both win.
Well, if she can't even sue the city than she'll just have to eat it. She broke the law/rule to begin with. They don't give a crap when you do that, you pay for the consequences no matter what happens, because you should know better.
It's all about corruption: corrupt neighbors heart and corrupt police and court department
Sue the city.
They won't pay her 🤣🤣🤣
She'll have to do that but we all know nothing is going to come from that. The city makes a mistake and waste people time, and now she's out much more money than she would have been out.
The system is rigged. Making complaints against the city or even suing them is a waste of time
In what? People's Court?! Fuggedaboutit!
They're not paying her, and it's still boils down to her fault.
Buddy should have been a lawyer lol
That is a very expensive lesson hopefully she learned.
It was definitely her fault for parking there in the first place, but that still doesn’t change the fact tow truck companies are horrible and they really take advantage of the consumer with outrageous prices and fees
A case with two upstanding or apparently two upstanding citizens. What a change of pace!
It would have been nice of the towing company to waive the storage fees now that they know the cops didn’t do their job.
I like both of these people Hated to see either side lose.
You only need to watch like 30s of this. She parked where she wasn't supposed to. She got towed. I wish handixapped parking was like that.
Judge must have been on the phone for a long time. Judge left plaintiff was in heels. When judge returns plaintiff is wearing flats. And why can’t the towing company have some mercy and not charge the entire amount. We need less court and more kindness.
Same thing with the guy. Before recess, his tie was straight. After recess...
Little miss self-entitled got her own ass into that predicament.
I sincerely hope she and other self-entitled drivers try to sue the city for compensation and get denied.
I'm sure this was also a lesson for the police precincts to get that inbox logged before the end of their shifts. 😉🚓🚓sue
Harvey loves the law so much he couldn't even fathom her suing the city of new York. the judge was so positive and encouraging about it and he's like yeah don't even try, next case up next!
Sovern immunity. Figures they do everything possible to be off the hook for their screw ups. They need to ban that and take accountability, just like they advise parents on the children. Kind of hypocritical if you ask me.
Feel bad for the lady blocking the driveway! she is a crimional.
I don’t feel sorry for her.. she got a good lesson that you can’t just park anywhere you want 😂😂 good luck suing NYC 😂
Yes, it’s the plaintiff’s fault that the car was towed away. But it is the police department’s fault that the tow was not entered in their tow log so that she could get her car in a timely manner. Fifteen days go by before she know where her car is, that unacceptable. She was calling the precinct daily trying to get that information.
“I am a bit disappointed, but I understand this judgment, since I sued the wrong party. But I do appreciate the extra effort the Judge put in to make sure I have everything I need to sue the correct party, so I thank her for that”….. is what the plaintiff did NOT say…but should have said!
Yea she shouldn't have ignored the sign but we all do things we know not to do it dosent mean she should have to pay hundreds more
I hope the plaintiff loses because I do not like the way she talks, and she started lying to the judge by saying that her car was not on the driveway at all
thats no reason to lose and how would she know if the car isn't there to see it and she literally said she THOUGHT she cleared it so where's the lie
Oh holy Lord Jesus Christ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣this is absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good luck suing NYC. It's an expensive lesson on why you don't park in a No Parking area and block people's driveways.
doesnt even appreciate what the judge did
Plaintiff:” I parked the car there to go visit family”
Judge: “and you don’t live there right”? 🤦🏽♀️
I would love to know what happened with the city!
Someone parked in my aunties disabled spot which is outside her house. The car got towed away after the police called a truck This person was shouting at my auntie and said they were allowed to park there because they are disabled.
Typical police negligence
I feel 0% bad for the lady who was more than happy to block someone's driveway for her own convenience.
This would be a perfect case for an "after the ruling" follow up episode.
"I thought I cleared the driveway" = I didn't look, I assumed I cleared it.
I could see and *feel* the dread when the plaintiff is watching the defendant get his camera out.
Thanks, Judge. Is she going to be able to bring them before Her Honor in People's Court? No??
Fuggedaboutit!
Sovereign immunity is wicked
Douglas is so patient and courteous.
While I don’t live in a state where I gotta worry about unnecessary parking fees, yall act like yall never did a thing.
Judge Marilyn sounded like Sargent Joe Friday from the show Dragnet, "Just the facts ma'am"
I get she was in the wrong for parking there guys BUT there are fair consequences for doing that. What she went through here is unfair, for everyday it wasn’t logged in she should be refunded by the city or even a penalty for them for not doing their job.
Plaintiff looking sad 😂 I bet you won't go to that relative house anymore parking anyway.
That sucks... Sadly, she parked in a crappy spot... IMO, that sign should be replaced with a simple NO PARKING sign instead of NO BLOCKING THE DRIVEWAY... The LEO on duty at the desk had one job at that time... log the tow... Shameful, really... I wish the Plaintiff good luck in recouping her money...
These people that break the law then expect someone else to pay are unbelievable!!!
ANY way you slice it, she IGNORED the sign & broke the law! (therefore any fees are her own fault PERIOD!!!)
Its not about the parking the police nor that man sign off on the tow. These tow companies been doing this
YOU DON T get to park wherever you want!!! no no no!!!!
Police really do be saying that shit. "No record of a tow." You just have to ask what tow companies they use and call the tow places yourself and ask if they have the car. Because the cops truly don't know. Too many of them to find the exact officer that did the tow
tow her? He hardly knew her 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
"How much were you blocking the driveway?"
"Half of my car was NOT blocking the driveway"
...oh...OK. so in other words, half of your car was...blocking..the....driveway.
expensive lesson dont do it again entitled
In light of everything The tow guy should be a good person and discount all those fees for her
If you’re going to block someone driveway at least knock on their door
And ask permission. People can be very understanding. But when you act entitled, this is how you end up In this mess.
Bye girl! I hate when people park in front of other people driveways! It’s rude and selfish!
Providing another perspective due to the fact she chose to add the "cute, unselfish me" rhetoric dropping off presents dur. Holidays. What-if homeowners had a med. emergency while street congested, hard to get Ambulance in, when most likely, FD and PD shows up first on scene to assess.
What needs to be asked is.. would she feel responsible and pay up, if the 2 homeowners couldnt use their driveways, and had to park illegally and get towed and suffer expenses because of her SELFISH, actions..
…the kind of behavior that shows she would rather inconvenience others, than herself!!!
They could use driveways. Just chose not to.
@@sdays59
There’s no reason to respond to a comment that you cant read properly, cant understand and have nothing to say to..
Harvey is actually annoying with his devils advocate questions. Yes if you’re blocking the driveway then you’re blocking the driveway…no need to ask the same question 1000 times
The defendant is cute 🥰 Call me boo😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The exact same thing happened to me in Brooklyn my car got towed on a Friday couldn’t locate it until Tuesday. Had to pay for 4 days storage fee when they never reported my car. Wish I would’ve knoe. I could’ve sued.
If she really believed her car was stolen at some point I would have been asking to see a claim through her auto insurance. Some people are woefully negligent and she really brought this on herself.
i need proof of 'life' (date) tow guy could have taken that picture anytime! it's suspect
I sure hope she can get her money back! This is very sad!
Why she parked illegally. This is on her
@@jaynehogue2459 it's not on her that the city didn't log her car as towed and it took her insurance company almost a month to find the car. She would have found it in a day if the police did their jobs.
15 days is a long time to wait to contact the owner of the car
I hate tow companies. They rip people off. 4,000. for storage fees.😮
I dont feel sorry for her. Her arrogance caused her to feel she could block someones driveway. Actions have consequences 🤷🏾
I HAD SOMEONE BLOCK MY DRIVEWAY YESTERDAY ,YES I HAD THE CAR TOWED.
DONT BLOCK MY DRIVEWAY AND IM HAVE BACK PROBLEMS SO I WASNT GOING DOOR TO DOOR TO FIND OUT WHO CAR IT WAS .SHE WAS PISSED AN CALLED POLICE I TOOK PICTURES AND SO DID TOW TRUCK DRIVER IT HAD BEEN AN HOUR SHE BETTER BE GLAD I WAITED THAT LONG. COPS TOLD HER WELL DONT BLOCK SOMEONE DRIVEWAY
Who's to say the tow company is working with NYC Police officers? Intentionally fail to log the tow, accumulate large storage fees, bribe officers?
JM shouldn't feel bad, the plaintiff shouldn't have blocked the driveways.
It was impossible not to. That's why she go after the city. It's bogus
She should have sued the city and the driver at the same time. The towing may have still done something improper with reporting, causing the police department to properly log the tow.
Scum tow trucking company could've been understanding in this situation
But greedy bastards will take every last penny!!
I think that's what you get for blocking people's driveways.
But I guess you just gotta look at what you're dealing with.
Some people just don't get it.They have the right to do whatever they want
lol - half the car wasn't blocking the driveway. Wonder what that implies about the rest.
If she didnt blocked the driveway, she wouldnt have been towed, end of case.
Her action put her in the position for something bad to happen. It sucks someone dropped the ball at the police station, but really the police have bigger priorities than making sure you are not a huge dick to people and illegally blocking them in.
Get out and walk.
It’s also not the tow ppls job to hunt you down and make sure you get your car.
Had it been me, (never would be because I wouldn’t park there) I would have called EVERY FREAKING TOW COMPANY in the first 2 days.
She knew it wasn’t stolen, she knew she was in the wrong and it was towed, if the police aren’t helping, help yourself and start looking for your car instead of sitting back and letting charges stack up for weeks.
Case of Miscommunication in RealTime..😆In the End she sued the wrong agency. I hope she did her due diligence and held New York for it’s Slack☺️🫡
Got to check the signs, NY always have tuff parking laws.
Next time on the Peoples court New York City Police department.
