San Diego police non-emergency is a joke

Today I woke up to a car blocking the drive way I was in and had to goto work. Called 3 different towing companies all said need to call police since it’s public street. Then I called the non emergency hotline and cops never showed up . I guess people can get away with parking where ever on the street .

Not sure if this was mentioned, but towing companies sometimes use notebook-size neon orange stickers on which says you have x amount of time to move the car before it’s towed. The sticker is huge and obnoxiously hard to remove. Possibly start applying onto driver and passenger side windows of cars in your driveway. I guess this would really only deter repeat parking offenders and offers no immediate resolution to the issue of being trapped in or blocked out of your driveway, but it’s a nice advertisement to others driving by not to park there.
