MALIBU (CBSLA.com) — The city of Malibu is adopting a zero tolerance policy to visitors who overstay their welcome.

A team of 10 volunteers will go on patrol and issue parking tickets to people who fail to observe time limits.

The parking enforcers can currently hand out warnings.

Starting in mid-July, the volunteers will start writing actual tickets for non-moving violations.

Completely illegal.

Wow that is going to attrack all sorts of control freaks who want to lord over the rest of the people, what could even possuibly go wrong....

[MichaelCorleone]

Boot camp for future Brownshirts.

[South40]

That's been the case for years here in San Diego with the "RSVP" (Retired Senior Volunteer Program).

That was my thought too. What kind of a jerk would volunteer to write parking tickets? Don’t they have enough to do in the HOA with the grass ruler?

[Servant of the Cross]

'Malibu ... Baby' ping.

[laplata]

The tourists are going to love that.

[DuncanWaring]

I was thinking they’ll be lined-up around the block for that “priviledge”.

[Vendome]

Totally uunlawful and I would challenge any ticket issued

[elkfersupper]

Government employees and agencies who do that sort of thing are for some reason NOT THIEVES.

"Volunteers" who do that ARE thieves and deserve to be shot on sight.

[LouAvul]

For some reason “Dwight” on “The Office” comes to mind.

[Secret Agent Man]

I would think so. I would think these tickets could have severe challenges to them.

[Elle Bee]

they do that in Del Ray Beach, Florida and the judges try to rubber stamp them ... 85 year olds who cant even get the color or make of the car correct

it's all about $$$

What happens the first time a “volunteer” gets punched in the face?

Then the real cops come out to shoot you and your little dog too.

I’m surprised the public employee unions would allow this. They wouldn’t allow parents volunteer to pick up trash on their kid’s school grounds where I lived because it was a union job.

That happens to the guy that is trying to film you being arrested to ensure that your civil rights aren't violated - and it is his dog that gets murdered.

There’s also a problem with the local gentry denying access by the public to the public beaches in Malibu. Both of these problems are sideshows compared with real problems, but be sure to hang this on the limo libs who lib, er, lie, er, live there.

Thanks BenLurkin.
