KTLA Morning News Gets a Parking Ticket on Live TV

Hilarious! During a live segment on KTLA News about what cars are good for road trips, one Santa Monica Parking Enforcement officer had other priorities.

According to this article, the reporter did not pay until after the tickets were issued:

Whatever.

The balls on the traffic officer for rolling in there with the pen and paper on live TV. Kinda have to question her critical thinking skills on that one.

Djevel, if you read the article I link to you can see that the parking attendant called the police after several cars did not pay the parking fee. So the officer was responding to a complaint.

Oh, I'm not bagging on her for issuing the citations. From the article, the reporters were being asses and they were in violation, thus earned the tickets. But to do it while on live TV is what I found odd. I would have thought it would have caused less of a scene to let them finish their little production and then whipped out the ticket book.

Official press release from Santa Monica PD.

From just watching the video I would assume the cop was just being an ass. But according to this press release it was KTLA that was being an ass.
