Code Enforcement Officers Cite Street Vendors

- The multi-departmental safety task force patrol around the Santa Monica Pier on Friday, January 21, 2022. Santa Monica Code Enforcement Officers issued several citations. SMPD Officers conducted several traffic stops.
The newly formed task force has been instrumental in helping to educate and enforce the City’s safety laws and ensuring safe sidewalk vending practices across the City.
According to information from the City of Santa Monica website www.santamonica.gov/topic-exp... ; Santa Monica was one of the first cities in the state to develop a permitted vending program. The City's comprehensive program that has allowed permitted or licensed vendors to operate for over 30 years includes permitting processes and parameters for safe vending, and today over 150 vendors are legally permitted to vend in the city. In 2018, the state law changed with the “Safe Sidewalk Vending Act” (SB 946) to provide important entrepreneurship and economic opportunities to low-income and immigrant communities.
State and local laws guide safe vending practices and standards in Santa Monica. All vendors need a City of Santa Monica business license and if applicable, a vending permit to sell any items in the City, and vendors selling food must also obtain and display a Los Angeles County Department of Public Health permit. The permit requirements reflect Santa Monica’s commitment to balancing public health and safety with expanding opportunities for micro-entrepreneurs.
Vendors are encouraged and welcome in many sidewalk locations throughout the City. In particular, sidewalk vendors are encouraged to vend on the sidewalk along Colorado Avenue between the Expo Light Rail Line (4th Street) and Ocean Avenue (top of the Santa Monica Pier). Please see the top resources above for more info on restricted areas including Third Street Promenade, Palisades Park, Santa Monica Pier and the beach.
What is the difference between permitted and unpermitted vending? Permitted vendors have obtained a City of Santa Monica business license and any other required permits, such as a Department of Public Health permit to prepare and serve food. Unpermitted vendors do not have the required permits. In particular, unpermitted street food is done without proper equipment to ensure food is safely stored, prepared, and handled.
Where are sidewalk vendors allowed to sell their products? Sidewalk vending can be conducted on most sidewalks and pedestrian paths in the City, but there are restrictions on where stationary vending can take place and the hours when roaming vending can take place in residential locations. In addition, no vending is allowed on private property, the Santa Monica Pier (including within 100 feet of the Pier), a farmer’s market, permitted community events or filming activities, a bike path, a street, driveway, or public parking lot.
Stationary sidewalk vending is also prohibited within 25 feet of the Third Street Promenade, the Transit Mall, the Beach, in residential areas, the 1700 block of Ocean Front Walk, and portions of the Palisades Park within 500 feet of the Pier entrance. Roaming sidewalk vending is not allowed in residential areas between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m.
Before purchasing food from a sidewalk vendor, what should the public look for? Every sidewalk vendor selling food or beverages (e.g. fruit, ice cream, churros, hot dogs, juice) is required to secure a Los Angeles County Public Health permit. County Public Health inspects each cart & establishment serving food or beverage to ensure that all health and safety measures are followed including proper refrigeration, food handling, and cooking temperatures. Before purchasing a food or beverage, look for the City’s “V” permit & a County Public Health permit. Every approved cart in Los Angeles County should display a Letter Grade & a certification sticker indicating that it is a permitted food facility. If a vendor does not have the proper permit, please call 3-1-1 and file a report with Los Angeles County.
Why is it important to purchase food or beverage from a vendor with a health permit? Food safety is a serious public health concern. Meats, cheeses, or hotdogs kept in cardboard boxes without refrigeration can make you sick. Cross-contamination with raw food and fruit, unclean food preparation practices can cause food poisoning, which can lead to hospitalization. It is critical for the health and safety of the public that food or beverages only be purchased by a vendor with the proper health permits.
That’s actually the best technique. To cite them before they even enter the pier
no, a better technique is if they are selling illegal confiscate their cart and food!
its a bully tactic they charge them with small fines because they cant be arrested for vending
@@yourefatandlazy bully tactic?
@@bobsmithinson2050 yes its used when they cant arrest you, they will ticket you for small things
Go arrest real criminals not some street vendor lol this video is not that important mehh.
Thank you officers - check, catch, and prosecute
Congrats on the 10 thousand subscribers SMCU. 🎉 Your videos are good and your photos. We need your photos😊 love your photos ♥️
Thanks
Best photos I've seen in a while. They look as if they're taken of other countries. "Majestic sunsets". Stored in our minds and hearts👍🌅
Things are once again looking great in Santa Monica. Great job in continuing to crack down on these vendors.
Confiscate their carts, I guarantee they won't turn up the next day. They can get their carts back once they are permitted.
Instead of citing these unregistered vendors, confiscate their carts until they can produce the proper paper work. yeah, No, Maybe?

Beautiful shot at the end.

Jesus is the one getting the violation…….
@@lonerider9099 OMG, this the best comment ever!!!!!
@@lonerider9099 🤣
Awesome job officers
FAIL! the only good thing is ticketing the people not stopping at the stop sign! Illegal Vendors WINNING!
Love your videos Fabian !!
Back The Badge folks!!!! Do The Right thing and you don't have a problem....cart sales is NOT the right thing in many ways👎👎👎👎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Now everybody call the phone number on these carts and tell them to stay home.
Are these people selling drugs?
8:23 "I'm sorry sir, horses aren't allowed at the beach"
The woman on 25.30 holding a sign "help with money "....... are these people real basically not after food or water just free money...it don't look nice on the pier
While security is needed at the train tracks where thousands of dollars are lost !!! They go after hard working people !!! Let them but permits a least !!!
The consequences for breaking the law must not be a very good deterrent !!! These same people are back at it everyday !!!
They have made a mockery of our laws, language, culture, flag, and our citizenship. It's a giant middle finger...
@Leroy Gardner I just did. I'm Native American. You actually have the temerity to mention lying, stealing and murdering in a thread regarding illegals? Amazing how you La Raza dingbats with you English as a second distant language pretend to be whites rubber stamping the virtues of pilfering. Nice try La Raza...
@@fretsward2225always the same race of people. Always.
Great job 👏🏼 it’s about time, talking will never get rid of them!!!!!! It was beginning to look like Tijuana 😂 I love TJ but not here,,,,,,,,, I sent my son back east a pic last time of the pier and he thought we were in Rosarito bc 😂
European immigrants did the same when they came uninvited into Mexican land.
These officers are super 🙏❤️👍👋🇮🇳
Since when can you block the Stand with a CART
SMPD What a joke people think they are getting on these illegal vendors they need to confiscate their carts, if SMPD doesn't nip it in the bud now, WAIT TILL SPRING BREAK In a few months! the funs is only being since SMPD can handle these illegal vendors! What a shame!
Yup, there will be a thousand "Emily's" to contend with when the weather gets really nice! I hope Santa Monica Emergency rooms are ready for a bacon-dog listeria outbreak!
I've been saying this all along confiscate their carts.not fair for the local businesses paying thousands every month in rent.
And have no clients...
@@john_from_eastcoast. Spot on! Every word! Gascon's "catch and release" mentality is pathetically unsustainable. Even the rich libs are going to get tired of having their rolexes and Louis Vuitton bags ripped off their carcases while they dine alfresco in 90210!
Agree. NIP IT!
@@1caculusman
😖🤢🤮
Why where those cars stopped before entering. They didn’t look like venders
Crack down
hardly these vendors are testing the SMPD they are getting played and SMPD can't see it, wait for spring break and summer! You will see the results of SMPD failure!
@@310socal they need to start somewhere. Its better than nothing.
Driver almost made it to the wallbreach
“Lock ‘em Dano”
I wish ICE will go there to join the campaign
I wish SMPD would just do their job and confiscate their carts!
Today in Austin Texas I felt like a foreigner at a restaurant all of South America was there it was insane
@@ElizabethGonzalez-yd9bx Texas belongs to the native americans way before europeans existed.
@@randomguy6974 no shit really my husband is a native
@@ElizabethGonzalez-yd9bx Gonzalez it’s not American Indian last name genius
that one cart that seemed to have right papers are probably forged....
What I don’t get is how LA is so filthy even the nice areas. Orange County on the other hand you won’t even know that you’re in a bad area if you can call it that. Food vendors are all over the place here and the streets are pristine. An ice cream cart vendor told me how he loves the suburbs here because the cops won’t do anything plus it’s safe. I can see why it’s a problem in LA, there’s too many restaurants while here in OC there isn’t enough. Same with a hot dog 🌽 vendor. She said people are nice here and it’s safe and doesn’t get hackled by local PD.
Sesame Street Elmo looks like he is on drugs and appear to cheating on his spouse with Harley Quinn. Hence, he got caught so he is walking away from Quinn….lol
Good job! Guys!!it's allways the same people!
That pier is sure busy
Some of the officers do not wear mask????? Why
it would be so nice if we had this kind of action on the border.
It's like this is a daily event, the PD is outnumbered by these vendors, who will win the war the city or the thousands of vendors
Wearing a mask in the fresh air on the beach while pulling a cart on the sand. Sheesh.
Seems like Santa Monica is pending millions doing nothing.
Only in this country. Other parts of the world they have street vendors.
Are talking about 3rd world countries?
Keep on attracting the little man
That's insane! They go after someone trying to Earn a living ,instead of the homeless smoking crack in public!?
If you had a legitimate business on pier you wouldn’t like them
I guess they could sicken quite a few people is a better option. Their country, their rules!!!
Period!!!
I don’t mind them trying to make a buck or two but most are selling rancid meat kept in dirty boxes I’d rather they sell fresh clean food from their home.
Go after both!!
There's other videos of them removing the homeless. So yeah. Nice try, though
Dang, another street vendor?
We NEED this officers here between 6th street and Bonnie Brae St or 7th street and Alvarado Street ASAP!!!!! Please!!!
These*
You need to complain to city hall or right to the police. They will do something if you complain often enough and loud enough. I know it sucks and you shouldn't have to but that's how it goes.
It's a good way to get money to upgrade the pier.
I would suggest the police spend less time going after people selling tacos and more time trying to curb gang murders or random attacks against citizens. Lot's of unsolved murder in L.A.
there you go finally some one with common scence 👍
Santa Monica is not part of L.A, tell that to LAPD. Guess who solves murder cases? Detectives and witnesses who are willing to come forward. Think before you speak moron
You can have all the food poisoning you want you can even have 2nds.
Those people cook the food in their own kitchen that is not certified they don't wash their hands . I've seen first hand how they cook the food , I wouldn't even feed it to my dog.
Man some of these vendors are missing the mark..
Sell kids beach toys..bottled drinks..towels..sunscreen..cover ups ..flip flops..umbrellas..
Santa Monica souvenir T-shirt ..things families might forget to bring to the beach day..
@Bandera Bird Your suggestion requires initiative & yhe items you've mentioned can't be purchased with food stamps!
@@johndough201 I see you in the video whith your vending cart whith your name on it. Tosser salad 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You'd think they would have some sort of Mexican hotline to call and see if the coast is clear.
That's an example of good proactive police work. Cite them before they unload their wares.
If the problem is that bad why don't they seize there equipment that will teach him a lesson
get er done!!!
Horsies!❤❤❤🧡❤
watch to the end lady wins 👏👏👏
they're citing people for running the stop sign at 5:30 but at 10:50 not one cop does the stop in the ATVs. No emergency light or anything so the defense of responding to the call is not valid.
Are you 5 years old?
@@john_from_eastcoast. should we not hold police accountable for their actions? Cops should set the example. Are they not supposed to obey the law? When you have douchebag cops flying next to you on the freeway doing 100+ just because they can and can't receive tickets it ticks me off. please tell me why they are allowed to run the stop sign and face no repercussions unlike the guy in the lexus or the jeep.
@@luciogarcia6882 --- *You'd argue that they should wait to pursue a vehicle that just ran a red until the light turned green --- but by then the perp was long gone... Cops have to have a certain amount of latitude, as long as their maneuver isn't specifically unsafe they're allowed.*
@@John-fy7yf Show that to the judge and the guy with the lexus ticket will get his case thrown out in a heart beat
@@gordon3186 please go read cvc 21055b. There are right ways to do stuff. Cops are supposed to have their sirens on and lights on when they approach the intersection and make sure it's all clear before they proceed. Not just blow the light. If they blow the light without sirens and lights, that's when accidents happen. Notice how when they blew the stop they did not yield whatsoever. Cops want to get nit picky when writing tickets, then I will get nit picky when they are also performing their duties.
I don’t see what the big deal is but this is why F California they have the worst traffic and all the rules they have it’s a joke, personally I like to modify my car and drive where there’s no traffic.
Spike strip the wheels on all of the illegals carts, kind of hard to push it around after that.
how many cops does it take to write 1 ticket? seems like overkill even though it needs to be done
Such a crime in this country to sell food. What a joke.
lmfao leave those people alone , go into the hoods , stop the drugs or gangs
Won’t be going to Santa Monica anytime soon 😂
It's not Santa Monica any longer. It's Santa Mexico, just like everywhere else you go here in Mexifornia...
Where's the hairy krishna dudes at?
Yeah, this will fix everyone's problems.
No, mass deportations will...

Only in America, come in illegally , piss on the rules, dont pay the cites and live here tax free.
Should have been doing this Months ago, n y do they keep coming back to the same spot if it's not working move to new place make a change 🤔.. Cop's are horny 4 Santa Monica pier lol 😂 🤣 😆 😅 😜
ur a stinger?
These immigrants have a First taste of freedom...,, wants catch a fish? No,Yes.
Go get license first ,,, and you don't need license for open a business !!!
This is Not communit country bro .
they will be back tomorrow and the the day after you canf stop a Mexican come i thought you all knew that a ready we will keep coming over and over nonstop no matter what 🥱
Sign has a walking person and the other a bike riding icon I do not see a CART
YES! FINALLY! Building SM Back Better by getting rid of the scum! Thx to law enforcement officers!
Lmao is that a sleepy joe saying?
@@orlandor7825 Nah, I'm merely plagiarizing it to fit my narrative (lmao) & you caught me🤣
@Chris Chavarria They deeptroath the whole boot 🥾
wow 10 cops per vender what a waste of money lol
You mean taxpayers' money?
It's a good thing then that none of those "venders" pay any taxes.
They come illegally.
They're here illegally.
They work ilegally
They pay no taxes legally
They drive illegally.
They vote illegally.
Previously hundreds of carts were turning up and trying to evade police who kept on top of it and many people agreed in the handling of it and now you moan. The cops cant win. The moment they show a weakness it'll be back to the huge problem it was previously. Give them a break.
U do realize those vendors are everywhere. They are lurking. So it's ok to have more officers than not enough. They are being cautious and there's nothing wrong with that
@@lynnvh5445 It is a waste because when one UTV pulls over to confront a vendor, all the other vehicles stop. The convoy stops and now 3-4+ city vehicles and 8+ city employees are working at one scene for ONE individual.
Their is no reason to have that many highly trained and paid police officers standing around doing nothing every weekend. You have two guys from SMFD to write citations for the butane cans if needed. At least two CE Officers out there. No reason for more then 2 SMPD officers to be out there.
@@CB-cv9yh Oh well why don't u complain to the mayor of the Santa Monica City...
I'm in Edmonton, Canada. After reading comments, I don't understand what harm the street vendors cause. Many people feel aggressive towards them? If I were a cop, I wouldn't want to do this.
Eating popcorn reading racists comments
What a waste of time and money. The fact is that they will never leave, this is their country/territory. Also, shouldn't police be working on human trafficking and homicide instead of wasting taxpayer money on these hard working individuals?
Lmfao...horses. ..I have to ask..lmfao who cleans up those horses. Land mines...
Lol 😆 nomore horses 🐴 let's call health department
The same people who clean the nasty human waste.
Blows me away how many people ran that stop sign in front of a police officer! A special kind of special
I see a lot of people not wearing masks 😷 including some of these policemen..no good 👎
law enforcement is above the them because we let them be!
They are outside...
You are right! I agree! They are going to breathe their filthy germs on all that clean food! Great point Rosa!
🐑🐑🐑
God is above man and street vendors are not drug dealers like the homeless.
Gastan mucho dinero en andar quitándoles cuando ya se fueron, regresan de de nuevo allí están hasta las 10 de la noche.
What a great job: Driving around in a cruiser acting like you're doing something important by following hot dog vendors. These cops should be embarrassed. If they really want to help the community, they should go clean up and protect the trains and train tracks in downtown LA that are getting robbed everyday.
@bengols1 Since the trains are privately owned here's a novel idea: perhaps they should return to the methods they utilized 100 yrs ago & hire their own armed private security guards to protect their cargo. Beyond that in the last gubernatorial election, Californians soundly rejected the law & order candidate, Larry Elder in favor of gavin newsom, a liberal who embraces policies like catch & release, no bail, no real penalties for misdemeanors & supporting D.A.'s who want to defund the police. You're the only one who should be embarrassed for espousing such liberal nonsense
@@johndough201 Sorry, Jose. But Larry Elder is just your token self-loathing Uncle Tom who should probably move out of the state if he hates it so much. Nothing would have been accomplished had he defeated Newsom. He is a radio host and not an important person. And the railroad tracks are considered part of the public domain and use right-of-way easements granted by the state, so the police should be patrolling these areas instead of wasting time pursuing hot dog vendors writing silly citations. There. Hope that helps.
@@johndough201 Larry Elder is just your typical, self-loathing black person who should probably leave the state if he hates it so much. He is not an important person. Republicans love to use him as a shill for validation of their racist, divisive politics. As for the trains, they use public right-of-ways and city owned easements which are part of the public domain. And they operate in the public's interest, in case you didn't realize this. So the police have a duty to protect these resources rather than waste time chasing around hot dog vendors to protect the landlords on the pier. There, hope that helped you again.
Again haha it will never end biden cause all this haha
Why so many police men , just to give tickets?
Because they are enforcing the law. Because these illegal vendors show up everyday...no duh!
Welcome to America love it or leave it.
U do realize those vendors are everywhere...they are lurking. The cops are just being cautious and what's wrong with that?
$500,000 just running around while the illegal vendors come back daily, what a waste of the taxpayer's money!
The best part is, the police officers are the ones mostly out there. They earn the best pay BUT they get to stand around and kill time because they're not the ones that write citations for unpermitted vending.
Who cares
Leave the poor hot dog vendors along. Assist them to do the business and earn a living legitimately. Permit holders must be rich business owners that lobby the authorities to keep these poor vendors out of the premises.
Pay to play, you wanna be a vendor have a permit. If they cost too much gonna have to do something else. Beach is so much nicer without vendors of any kind.
I agree. Being rich is bad. Unless it’s me. Laws are bad unless someone steals my cart then I want them arrested! I couldn’t agree with you more!
Leave them along
Logan the troll
How Kumbaya of you? Assist them in their return trips to Mexico is what needs to be done...
