NorCal Drivers Surprised By Bogus SoCal Tickets

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS) ― No one likes getting a ticket, but it's even worse when it wasn't you.

"I got this notice from the City of L.A. that I owed them a parking ticket on my pop up tent trailer and it was silver in color," Frank Densmore told CBS.

It's his license plate, but his trailer is green and white, not silver. Densmore has never been to Los Angeles and he says he doesn't have any way to move that trailer.

"If I wasn't in Los Angeles, how could I have gotten the ticket," Sheilah Cunningham of Brentwood told us.

The flight attendant got a parking ticket in Inglewood from the L.A. Sheriff's Department on May 6th.

"I knew I wasn't in Los Angeles," she said. "I knew where I was on the sixth. I was in Maui. My car was in employee secured parking."

She spent three days gathering bridge Fastrak records and parking logs showing when she parked at the San Francisco Airport. She said it proves she's not guilty.

Many in the Bay Area have reported similar errors. But they have all had a hard time getting the tickets cleared up.
