YES, I have to agree with the above review regarding Griffith Park and their TOY COPS! I received an «off leash» dog ticket for my 15 pound Lhaso for being off the leash for less than 20 paces! F’in TOY COP Nunez # 1136 and his superior TOY COP Orlanes #1139 had the audacity to cite me with a BULLSHIT off leash ticket because I let my poor puppy rest a bit longer under the shade while Kirra, my boxer, (who was leashed, by the way) and I walked ahead. Our apologies for it being 80+ degrees out on a Monday morning… you amateur, wannabe «crime» fighting, pieces of wasted tax money. They need to give it a rest. Leave the innocent, tax payers alone you mother f’ers… go get a real job and fight the REAL crime out there in LA. Leave us alone and let us walk our dogs in peace without getting all over us with your bullshit justifications about why my 15 pound dog isn’t allowed to take a few more seconds of shade.

Top Ten Power Trippin’ PWA (Professions With Attitude):
10. Security Guards
9. DMV Workers
8. Mac Store Employees
7. Meter Maids
6. Hollywood Nightclub Bouncers
5. Hostesses at the «it» restaurants
4. Shi-​shi Boutique Employees
3. Airport Security (esp. @ LAX!)
2. Cops
And the number 1 spot goes to… Griffith Park Rangers!
I could not believe it when I got a ticket for having my dog off the leash for less than 10 minutes. I thought I had gotten stupid tickets in my day… but this one takes the cake!
Even though they didn’t have any «No dogs w/​o a leash» signs where I was … fat, Power Trippin’ Park Ranger J. Pineda gave me the ticket that gives a bad name to Park Ranger Smith!
That’s right Pineda, I’m calling you out! Yeah, you ride that Ford SUV around the park and keep all those dangerous off-​leash dogs away from innocent park enthusiasts! You wear that gun-​less belt and green collared shirt that says, «Park Ranger» with with pride! Pretend to do the community a service by issuing tickets in lieu of warnings.
There are crimes far worse than mine that deserves a court appearance. Be prepared Pineda, be prepared.
***UPDATE***
I went to court today. I wasted 3 hours out of my day to be in a courtroom full of people who were being charged with rape, finishing up anger management classes, AA classes, community service, DUIs, and possession. I felt so out of place, but at the same time, so guilty, as I stood in front of that nice judge who kindly fined me $ 50. I learned today that my crime is considered to be a misdemeanor. Can you believe it?!
