Last evening @ Kingwood Court, female prosecutor told me “no parking to the right of the white line”. I showed her photos of my truck, off the macadam shoulder, way up on the grass, the absence of “No Parking” signs & the statute defining that “No Parking” signs must be present to incur a violation. “We will see what the judge says”, she said, “The Hot Dog Man’s activities have resulted in more parking tickets being issued to anglers.” “Great!” I responded.

Then I spied him,…you couldn’t miss him,……..the big tube steak was sitting up front surrounded by his little wiener henchmen! I caught the prosecutor’s attention & whispered to her, “Oh, I see the big criminal is here.” “Yeah”, she responded, as she rolled her eyes.

Defendants with lawyers went first, & Big Boy was @ the top of that list. The prosecutor stated, “Numerous violations here, Your Honor”:

Zoning Violation @ “The Shack” on Rt. 12 where tubes are stored. Violations pertaining to the buses (some are still identified as school buses, blockages of emergency exits, parking issues, etc.). He had to pay a few $250’s, $50’s (+ court costs) & skated on some others. His lawyer got an extension, until next month, for the zoning violation. Pay up,……just part of doing business for the HDM. While, we anglers get screwed for his actions.

A narcotics violation & the crane company involved with the Rt. 519 bridge collapse ended the high profile cases.

Alphabetical order for the rest of us,…………& I was first! Got home by 7 PM.

“Absence of signs indicating no parking,……such signs will have to be posted,…….Case Dismissed!” The judge asked me what I caught.

I’m going to check the tax maps to see who owns that area. If private, I can still park there, with the owner’s permission, of course. If it’s DOT, I can’t. In either case, I will pursue the Division’s acquisition of said area. For selfish reasons, of course,……..but also for all the anglers who park there.

I let the Judge know that part of my job is to fight for NJ angler access.

Good to see someone with the cajones to fight injustice and not be afraid of court costs. Well done!

The cop that wrote the ticket should get a ticket for causing you a big pain in the butt. Glad to see it was dismissed and you took the time to stand up for whats right, more people should do that.
