I'M PISSED. EVERY SECOND
I'M SITTING HERE, IT'S MONEY COMING OUT
OF MY POCKET. I'M GETTING
ALL THE ANGRY MEN. MY GOD ! SOME PEOPLE
DO NOT LIKE ME. I WANNA KILL HER. EVERYBODY ELSE
IS IN LOVE WITH ME. SHE'S FANTASTIC. MAYBE I HAVE
A LOT OF CHARISMA. CAN I GET MY STUFF
OUT OF MY TRUNK ? THAT MAN SHOULD NOT
BE ON THE ROAD. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY
I GOT PULLED OVER. GO UP THE STREET. ( man )
THAT'S WHY COPS
GETTING KILLED. IS THAT A THREAT ? Captioning presented by<font color="#0000FF">
A&E TELEVISION NETWORKS</font> ( man )
Mostly sunny today
with a warmer afternoon. High of 69, a breezy day... ( Brian )
IT'S TIME, FELLAS. COME ON, BERNARD,
COME ON, BRANDON. LET'S GO ! Y'ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY,
DRIVE SAFELY. WE'RE READY TO ROLL. ( sirens blaring ) ( Luz )
ALL THESE POLICE CARS. LOOK, LOOK AT THIS, ANOTHER
COP BEHIND US, LOOK ! YEAH, THERE'S MORE COMING. ( woman )
WHAT IS THIS ? I DON'T KNOW. OH, WOW. LET'S SEE WHAT'S
GOING ON. ( man )
The search continues for
the thug who shot the officer around 10:30 this morning
inside a doughnut shop at 66th and Broad... THAT'S ANOTHER COP. ... and while the guy
was robbing the place... Officer Cassidy is the fourth
cop to be shot in a month, and the third
in just four days. ( sirens blaring ) DID THEY JUST SAY ANOTHER
COP JUST GOT SHOT, ROB ? IT'S A ROUGH CITY. YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL. ( Frank )
PHILLY'S CRAZY. YOU GOT 14-, 15-YEAR-OLD KIDS
RUNNING AROUND WITH GUNS. ( sirens blaring ) ( Danielle )
I BLESS MYSELF
WHEN I HEAR SIRENS. I JUST SAY A LITTLE PRAYER, YOU KNOW, GOD BE
WITH THAT PERSON. WHAT ? ( man )
There's much more on this story
on our website... HOLY 2-2-4. HE JUST CALLED ME,
HE SAID THE GUY HAS THE COPS GUNNED AND HE'S RUNNING
AROUND EINSTEIN AND THAT WHOLE AREA. OKAY, LET ME... MENTAL PATIENT,
ARMED AND DANGEROUS. OH, HELL NO ! I AIN'T
GETTING OUT HERE. THE GUY'S RUNNING
ON BROAD AND ELM WITH A
POLICE OFFICER'S GUN. THIS IS CLOSED DOWN--
COPS ARE ALL OVER. BYE-BYE. OKAY, LET'S GET OUT
OF THIS AREA, PLEASE. LET'S GET OUT OF HERE. I'M GONNA ASSIGN EVERYBODY
TO A DIFFERENT BEAT. HE MIGHT THINK
WE'RE A POLICE OFFICER WHEN HE SEES US IN UNIFORMS,
YOU KNOW ? WE DON'T WANNA TAKE A CHANCE. JUST BE CAREFUL,
PLEASE BE CAREFUL. ( Mike )
TO WEAR A BLUE UNIFORM TODAY, ESPECIALLY AFTER
A COP GOT SHOT, IT'S A LITTLE UNNERVING. IT DOESN'T HELP
THAT WE GIVE 'EM TICKETS. THAT COULD BE JUST A... YOU KNOW, STRAW THAT BREAK
THE CAMEL'S BACK. ( Danielle )
I'M NOT A POLICE OFFICER. I HAVE NOTHING TO
BACK MYSELF UP. I HAVE NOTHING ON ME
BUT MY HAND-HELD AND MY RADIO. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOU RUN INTO THAT
ONE CRAZED INDIVIDUAL. THEY GOT SOME
LITTLE BUM PUNK GUY. SAYS HE'S GONNA ROB SOMEBODY, THEY SHOOT SOMEBODY
IN THE FRIGGIN' HEAD. IT'S A DISGRACE. ( Frank )
THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S
GOING SOUTH. YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL. PEOPLE ARE NOT LOOKING OUT
FOR YOUR WELL-BEING, SO YOU GOTTA LOOK OUT
FOR YOUR OWN WELL-BEING. I LIVED IN
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, I HAVE THREE KIDS. I HAVE A 20-YEAR-OLD WHO,
FIVE YEARS AGO, WAS HELD UP AT GUNPOINT,
HIM AND HIS THREE BUDDIES. THEY DIDN'T HAVE NO MONEY--
THEY WERE 15-YEAR-OLD KIDS. THEY WERE TOLD TO RUN AND THE GUY
FIRED A SHOT AT HIM, HIT MY SON IN THE ELBOW. THANK GOD
IT WAS JUST HIS ELBOW. BUT HE'S BEEN SUFFERING FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS
BECAUSE OF IT. I HAD TO UPROOT MY FAMILY AND MOVE OUT OF
THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I MEAN, I LOST MONEY, BUT WHAT'S MONEY WHEN IT
COMES TO YOUR KIDS, RIGHT ? I STILL COME BACK DOWN HERE,
I COACH BALL DOWN HERE BECAUSE THE KIDS
AROUND HERE NEED HELP, THEY NEED MENTORSHIP, THEY NEED
VOLUNTEERS. ( man )
Is the flatbed
available for live stop ? 7-31, I'M EN ROUTE, SIR. OUR NEXT STOP
IS A LIVE STOP. A LIVE STOP IS WHERE
POLICE STOP A CAR THAT'S RUNNING ILLEGALLY. MY JOB IS JUST TO
TOW THE CAR. WE'RE COMING UP ON IT. THERE'S A COUPLE
POLICE CARS ON THE SCENE. WE GOTTA BE SAFE. COPS OUT HERE
DON'T KNOW WHETHER THEY'RE GONNA STOP A CAR AND GET THEIR HEAD
BLOWN OFF OR NOT ANYMORE. THERE'S SO MANY GUNS
OUT ON THIS STREET, IT'S OUT OF CONTROL. 7-31 ON LOCATION. ( Frank )
HOW ARE YOU, OFFICER ? HELLO, OFFICERS. WILL WE BE ABLE TO
GET HIS KEYS ? HERE YOU GO,
NO PROBLEM. 'CAUSE HE'S
ABOUT TO HOOK IT UP. ( man )
I JUST CAME OUT MY DRIVEWAY
TO GO TO<i> 7-ELEVEN.</i> I WANNA KNOW WHY
I GOT PULLED OVER. ( man )
THEY PULLED HIM OVER
FOR A MOTOR-VEHICLE VIOLATION. THE GUY DOESN'T HAVE
A DRIVER'S LICENSE AND THE CAR'S NOT REGISTERED. ( Frank )
HE SHOULDN'T BE ON THE ROAD. EVEN IF YOU'RE DRIVING AROUND
THE CORNER TO<i> 7-ELEVEN,</i> HIS WHOLE CAR IS
BASICALLY TOTALLY ILLEGAL. SO YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT CAR
ON THE STREET. I WANNA EVEN KNOW
WHY I GOT PULLED OVER. ♪ I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING
HARD FOR SO LONG ♪ ♪ WHAT'S YOUR
GAME PLAN MAN ? ♪ ♪ WHAT'S YOUR GAME PLAN
MAN ? ♪ IF WE COULD EXPOSE-- SHE WASN'T EVEN WILLING
TO SPEAK TO ME. ( officer )
HE'S JUST UPSET HIS CAR'S
GETTING TAKEN. WHY ? HE WAS YELLING
AND ACTING FOOL AND HIS FRIENDS STARTED
COMING OUTSIDE. CURSING AT THE POLICE. ( bleep ) SO THEY CALLED
FOR SOME BACKUP. CAN I GET MY STUFF OUT
OF MY TRUNK, PLEASE ? THE DRIVER
GOT A LIST OF CITATIONS FROM A SUSPENDED REGISTRATION
TO "UNLICENSED DRIVER." THAT MAN
SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. ( man )
LOOK, IT'S MESSED UP. I UNDERSTAND YOUR
LIFE HARD. I UNDERSTAND IT'S YOUR
ONLY WAY OUT THE HOOD. ( officer )
MAN, THIS AIN'T NO HOOD. JUST STOP, STOP, STOP. THIS IS A HOOD. CHECK THE BODY RATES. THE BODIES
STILL ADD UP. CHECK THE MURDER RATE
AROUND HERE. THIS IS THE HOOD. SMILING AND ( bleep ). LOOK AT HER, SMILING AND
( bleep ), MAN, ( bleep ). EVERY TICKET Y'ALL JUST
GAVE ME, I'M GONNA BEAT ! Y'ALL LISTEN. ( officer )
GO AHEAD UP THE STREET. YOU AIN'T GOT NO LICENSE, YOU CAN'T
DRIVE LIKE THAT. ( man )
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE
KEEP GETTING SHOT AND COPS GETTING KILLED. ( officer )
WAS THAT A THREAT ? I'M NOT THREATIN'. I'M NOT THREATIN',
I'M EXPLAINING MY REASONS ! UH-UH, NO,
THAT'S ( bleep ). I'M EXPLAINING MY REASONS ! TERRORISTIC THREAT. TERRORISTIC THREAT. WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT ? MY MAN, YOU BETTER
GO UP THE STREET. OR WE'RE GONNA LOCK YOU UP
FOR OBSTRUCTING THE HIGHWAY. OBSTRUCTING A HIGHWAY ! WHAT THE ( bleep )
YOU TALKING ABOUT ? ( man )
I WAS EXPLAINING... DUDE, I ASKED YOU TO
LEAVE LIKE FIVE TIMES. ( officer )
I ASKED YOU TO LEAVE
AT LEAST TEN. ( Frank )
I JUST PUT THE GENTLEMAN'S
CAR UP HERE. HIS FRIEND IS
BEING SUBDUED BY POLICE BECAUSE HE CAME OUT AND STARTED
YELLING AT HIM. NOW HIS FRIEND'S
BEING LOCKED UP NOW AND HE'LL SPEND THE REST OF
THE NIGHT IN JAIL ALL OVER A TOWED
VEHICLE AND THEY WERE WRONG. ( officer )
HAVE A SEAT. I ASKED YOU TO
LEAVE LIKE FIVE TIMES. I APOLOGIZE... IT'S TOO LATE
FOR APOLOGIES. SO WHAT DID HE DO ?
WHAT DID HE DO ? HE AIN'T DO NOTHING. YOU MIND YOUR BUSINESS. THEY GONNA LOCK HIM UP--
MAN, DIDN'T EVEN SAY NOTHING ! HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT
COPS GETTING SHOT. HOW MANY COPS
GOT SHOT THIS WEEK ? GO UP THE STREET ! HE DIDN'T DO NOTHING. YOU GO UP THE STREET. YOU SHOULD'VE LEFT TEN MINUTES
AGO LIKE WE ASKED YOU TO. ( Frank )
ALL OVER A TOWED VEHICLE. A GUY WHO HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH THIS CAR IS GONNA SPEND
TWO NIGHTS IN JAIL. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT ? IT DOESN'T
MAKE SENSE TO ME. THESE POLICE OUT HERE,
I ADMIRE 'EM. I PERSONALLY WOULDN'T
WANNA BE A POLICE OFFICER BECAUSE OF THINGS
LIKE THIS. YOU'RE TOWING A GUY'S CAR, ALL OF A SUDDEN,
YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY FOUR OR FIVE PEOPLE OVER
A TOWED VEHICLE-- OVER AN ILLEGAL VEHICLE. IT JUST DOESN'T
MAKE SENSE TO ME SOMETIMES. BUT THAT'S LIFE IN
PHILADELPHIA. 7-31 UP AND ROLLIN'. PEOPLE GET TICKETS
AND THEY DO NOT LIKE ME. THE SAME LADY GIVES ME
A TICKET EVERY DAY. 'CAUSE SHE THINKS SHE'S
EXEMPT FROM GETTING THE TICKET. I KNOW SHE TARGETS ME. ( Marlene )
HEY, GIRLFRIEND. NOW, HOW DO I LOOK ? YOU KNOW WHAT--
I CAN ALWAYS LEAVE MY UMBRELLA. ( woman )
HOW YOU DOING ? ( man )
HOW YOU DOING ? ( laughing ) THIS IS A VERY MATURE SQUAD. I'LL BE 60
IN TWO MORE MONTHS. I ALWAYS SIT NEXT TO
MY GIRLFRIEND. DON'T START, JACK. HE MIGHT BE OLD,
BUT HE'S NOT DEAD. ALL RIGHT. OKAY, I'LL SEE YOU GUYS. ( woman )
HAVE A GOOD ONE. THIS IS AN EXPIRED METER. WHEN I COME OUT
ON THE STREET, I'M IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC, REPRESENTING
THE PARKING AUTHORITY, SO YOU DON'T WANNA COME OUT LOOKING LIKE YOU
ROLLED OUT OF BED. ( man )
GOOD DAY TO YOU. HERE'S SOME SHARP-LOOKING
CLOTHES. YOU LOOK
PRETTY SHARP, TOO. EVEN WITH MY UNIFORM ON ? SURE. THANK YOU, BILL. I'LL SEE YOU, SWEETIE. WE ARE IN OLD CITY, A VERY OLD SECTION
OF PHILADELPHIA. IT'S REALLY NICE DOWN HERE. MY HUSBAND
WAS A POLICE OFFICER AND THIS WAS HIS BEAT
FOR 14 YEARS. HE PASSED AWAY IN 2001, BUT IT FEELS LIKE
HE'S RIGHT HERE WITH ME. LET'S SEE WHAT WE
GOT UP HERE. IT'S A METER TICKET. MY HUSBAND'S PROBABLY LOOKING
DOWN AND SAYING, "ARE YOU CRAZY ?
ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY INSANE ?" BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT WE'RE
DEALING WITH THE PUBLIC. THE PUBLIC SOMETIMES
CAN BE VERY HARD TO DEAL WITH. WE TAKE A LOT OF ABUSE. BUT I ENJOY THIS JOB BECAUSE
YOU'RE WITH PEOPLE EVERY DAY. HI, GUYS. HI, LADY. I'M A PEOPLE PERSON. AT LEAST SHE'S
DOING HER JOB. OH, I THINK THEY'RE DOING
SOME FILMING DOWN HERE. BOY, THIS STUFF IS NEAT-O. THIS IS SO EXCITING,
WHEN I SEE ALL THIS STUFF. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE BEEN
AN ACTRESS. MY NICKNAME
IS "GLAMOUR GIRL." I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER NICKNAME: "VANNA WHITE OF
THE PARKING AUTHORITY." NO STOPPING ANYTIME,
SWEETHEART. ( man )
SHE DON'T BELONG HERE. SHE BELONGS IN
HOLLYWOOD. JUST LOOK AT HER ! THANKS, GUYS. ALL NICE TAN,
BEAUTIFUL, RIGHT ? SHE'S FANTASTIC. SHE DOES LOOK LIKE
SOME KIND OF STARLET FROM ANOTHER AGE. ♪ YOU'RE SO AMAZING ♪ ♪ AMAZING TO ME ♪ I DON'T KNOW,
WHAT IS THERE ? AM I BOISTEROUS, AM I... A CENTER
OF ATTENTION ? I LIKE TO BE SEEN. I DON'T KNOW. IF I COULD BE IN A CROWD AND I WOULD BE
PICKED OUT, WHY ? ( man )
YOU MISSED THIS ONE. ( laughing ) WHY ? I DON'T KNOW,
I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE ANSWER. DO I HAVE-- MAYBE I'M TOOTING
MY OWN HORN, BUT MAYBE I HAVE
A LOT OF CHARISMA. CAN I GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH,
PLEASE ? ♪ HOLLYWOOD AND VINE ♪ AH, MAKE FUN OF ME ! THIS IS A METER CITATION. ALL RIGHT. SIR, DO YOU WANT ME TO PUT
THIS ON YOUR WINDSHIELD ? ( engine revving ) PEOPLE GET TICKETS
AND THEY DO NOT LIKE ME. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT
HATE OUR GUTS, BELIEVE ME, THEY HATE US. NO, IT DOESN'T
BOTHER ME. I GOTTA LET IT GO. THIS IS A VIOLATION. ( man )
ARE YOU WRITING ME
A TICKET ? YES, SIR. BUT, OF COURSE, YOU LEAVE
THE OTHER CARS ON THE STREET. I TIMED YOU FOR
20 MINUTES, SIR. SO I CAN PARK HERE
FOR 20 MINUTES. 20 MINUTES. I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LEGAL TO PARK ON THE STREET
FOR 20 MINUTES. WELL, REALLY IT'S NOT LEGAL,
BUT WE GIVE YOU THE COURTESY, WE GIVE YOU AN ALLOWANCE
OF 20 MINUTES. WELL, YOU SHOULD
PUT A NOTE HERE: "YOU'RE ALLOWED TO
PARK HERE FOR 20 MINUTES," SO PEOPLE LIKE US,
ALL OF US, GET THAT
19 MINUTES TO DO IT. THAT'S A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU, SIR. YOU'RE VERY EFFICIENT. ( Marlene )
THAT'S UNCALLED-FOR. THERE'S ANOTHER WORD FOR IT, BUT I'M TOO MUCH OF A LADY
TO USE IT. HI, HON, HOW YOU DOING ? OH, YOU KNOW... ALL RIGHT, OKAY, SIR,
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. YOU DO A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND YOU KNOW WHAT ? YOU COME TO WORK LOOKING
SO TERRIFIC EVERY DAY. WE ARE THE MOST HATED, STILL IN ALL,
WE DON'T COME OUT LOOKING LIKE WE JUST
ROLLED OUT OF BED. SHE'S TERRIFIC,
SHE IS AMAZING. ALL RIGHT, BABY,
OKAY, BYE-BYE. I THINK SHE DOES
A TERRIFIC JOB. I'VE BEEN
WATCHING DOWN HERE-- SHE'S PERFECTLY NEAT
EVERY DAY, HER HAIR'S ALWAYS IN A BUN. THERE'S SOMETHING SPECIAL
ABOUT HER, YOU KNOW ? IT'S NICE TO
HEAR NICE THINGS. I MEAN, I GOT A BIG HEAD
AS IT IS. YOU KNOW, I AM SO VAIN. THAT'S GREAT. THIS GUY'S
IN LOVE WITH ME. ALL RIGHT, FELLAS ! ( all yelling ) DON'T SAY THAT. SHE'S GORGEOUS. OF COURSE,
WE ALL GET HIT ON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU
GOT A CITIZEN TRYING TO HIT ON YOU, AND THEN YOU FORGET
WHAT HAPPENED AN HOUR AGO, THAT SOMEONE JUST CALLED YOU
A FILTHY NAME. AND IT MAKES US FEEL GOOD. HI, HON. I'M GONNA CHECK
THIS LOADING ZONE. W-A-S RIGHT THERE
IN FRONT OF ME. I KNOW THAT
LICENSE PLATE BY HEART BECAUSE SHE'S ALWAYS THERE. NOW I AM GONNA
TIME HER. 30 MINUTES. THIS GIRL
DOES NOT LIKE ME. SHE WORKS RIGHT IN THAT
PIZZA STORE, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. SHE GOT A TICKET
FROM ME TWICE LAST WEEK. THE SAME LADY GIVES ME
A TICKET EVERY DAY. I KNOW SHE TARGETS ME. AS SOON AS SHE WALKS BY,
SHE GIVES ME A SMILE LIKE-- YOU GIVE ME A TICKET EVERY DAY, THERE'S NOTHING TO
BE SMILING ABOUT. ( Marlene )
DOES SHE THINK
THAT SHE'S EXEMPT FROM GETTING THE TICKETS ? I DON'T UNDERSTAND HER. YOU CANNOT
DISREGARD THE SIGN. 30 MINUTES. WHEN I COME BACK,
SHE'S STILL THERE, I NEED TO ISSUE HER
A CITATION. SHE'S THERE. THERE IS
THE YOUNG LADY'S CAR. ( woman )
HI, I GOT A TICKET ! SHE'S JUST TARGETING ME
AND GIVING ME A TICKET BECAUSE SHE KNOWS
SHE'S USED TO IT. THEY DON'T LIKE ME ACROSS
THE STREET. ( woman )
I THINK I HAVE
LIKE SEVEN TICKETS. I'VE JUST BEEN COLLECTING THEM, KEEPING THEM IN
A DRESSER DRAWER AT HOME AND FIGURING I'LL PAY THEM
WHEN I HAVE THE MONEY, BUT IT'S ADDING UP SO QUICK, THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN
I'M GONNA HAVE TO PAY THIS. ( Marlene )
THE YOUNG LADY'S
GOTTA FIND A PLACE TO PARK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE
TO TELL HER. SHE'S GONNA KEEP
GETTING TICKETS. I JUST DO MY JOB,
SIMPLE AS THAT. IT'S THE END OF THE DAY, I FEEL GRITTY
BUT STILL LOOKING GOOD. MAYBE NOGLAMOROUS, BUT STILL
LOOKING GOOD. THEY TOOK MY CAR. TO THE BLONDE TICKETER,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I NEED YOUR LICENSE,
REGISTRATION, INSURANCE. I'M GETTING MORE PISSED OFF
ABOUT IT AS THE DAY GOES ON. THERE'S NOTHING WORSE
THAN WHEN FEMALES ARE CRYING. ( woman )
I WAS TOWED BECAUSE I WAS
PARKED IN A SCHOOL ZONE AND I'M LIKE...
( panting ) "PLEASE,
DON'T TOW MY CAR ! HOW DO I GET TO WORK ?" THEY'RE NOT SO HAPPY
WHEN THEY GET HERE. I GOTTA GO TO WORK. THIS IS SLOWING
THEM DOWN FOR WORK, MAKING THEM LATE FOR WORK. ( man )
FOR EVERY SECOND
I'M SITTING HERE, IT'S MONEY COMING OUT
OF MY POCKET. THAT'S WHY I LIKE TO
KEEP IT MOVING, KEEP THEM FROM
GETTING IRATE. ( woman )
MY CAR WAS TOWED YESTERDAY. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TIME--
I WAS WORKING. THEY TOWED MY CAR. THE SAME LADY GIVES ME
A TICKET EVERY DAY. I JUST STARTED
WORKING AT THIS LOCATION ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN LIKE
SEVEN TO TEN TICKETS, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THERE. ♪ YOU KNOW IT AIN'T RIGHT ♪ ♪ I GOT BILLS
TO PAY Y'ALL ♪ YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN MY FACE WHEN I LOOKED OUTSIDE AND
MY CAR WASN'T THERE. I LAUGHED INITIALLY,
THEN I ALMOST CRIED 'CAUSE THAT'S
A LOT OF MONEY. ( Ashley )
I KNOW THE SAME LADY
GIVES ME A TICKET EVERY DAY. SHE'S GOT BLONDE HAIR AND AN OLD, OLD FACE
AND A LOT OF MAKEUP. ( laughing ) HER FACE IS CORRODING OFF
AND HER HAIR IS A MESS. IT'S ALL STRAGGLY. ( woman )
NO, YOU DIDN'T ! I SHOULDN'T TALK RIGHT NOW,
'CAUSE I JUST WOKE UP, BUT SHE LOOKS A MESS. MY BROTHER AND I TAKE
PICTURES WITH VIOLATION ENVELOPES. MY GRANDMOTHER DOESN'T
THINK IT'S THAT FUNNY. ( woman )
SHE'S ALWAYS GETTING TICKETS. SPEEDING TICKETS,
PARKING TICKETS. $261.80. I HAVE SEVEN TICKETS. I THINK I PAID
THREE TODAY. IT'S PROBABLY GONNA
BE MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT 'CAUSE MY BIRTHDAY'S IN
LIKE TWO WEEKS AND MY GRANDMOTHER'S
MOST LIKELY GONNA TELL ME, "YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY ME
BACK THAT $280. HAPPY BIRTHDAY." ALL RIGHT. ( man )
COME ON. I'M HERE TO PICK UP MY TRUCK
THAT THE CITY STOLE FROM ME. I'M DOING
A WIRELESS INTERNET SYSTEM IN THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA
FOR<i> EARTHLINK</i> AND WE'RE PARKED
THERE FOR-- WHAT, TWO HOURS ? I DIDN'T KNOW WE WEREN'T
ALLOWED TO PARK THERE, BUT I'M LOOKING
DOWN AND I SAW MY TRUCK JUST FLOATING AWAY IN
THE DISTANCE. THERE IT IS. IT'S BEING TOWED. ( man )
WE WERE ACTUALLY WORKING
ON THE ROOF OF THE 37th FLOOR. LOOK OVER THE SIDE AND SEE
YOUR MONEYMAKER BEING TOWED DOWN THE STREET... IT'S NOT A VERY
COMFORTING SIGHT. HEY, YOU REALLY LIKE
YOUR JOB, DON'T YOU ? OF COURSE,
I LOVE MY JOB. SO DO I. BUT YOU'RE ALREADY AT WORK
AND I'M LOSING A LOT OF MONEY. I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT, BUT IN ORDER FOR YOU
TO GET YOUR CAR OUT, I NEED THE CORRECT PAPERWORK. WE NEED THE RENTAL AGREEMENT IN ORDER TO GET YOUR
CAR RELEASED FROM US. MY GOD, MAN. AND THEY TOLD ME
I COULDN'T HAVE MY CAR UNTIL I HAVE THE RENTAL
AGREEMENT. THE RENTAL AGREEMENT
HAS TO BE FAXED OVER HERE AND THEN THEY'LL GIVE ME
PERMISSION TO GO GET MY TRUCK. HE'S A LITTLE...
UPSET. ( Mike )
I'M IN LUCK. SHE'S GETTING ALL THE BAD
CUSTOMERS TODAY. ( Andrea )
YES, I'M VERY LUCKY. HE'S GETTING ALL
THE SWEET WOMEN AND I'M GETTING
ALL THE ANGRY MEN. I NEED YOUR LICENSE,
REGISTRATION, INSURANCE. REGISTRATION AND INSURANCE
IS IN THE VEHICLE. I JUST GOT THIS CAR. I DIDN'T CHOOSE FOR
MY CAR TO BE TOWED. I'M GETTING MORE
PISSED OFF ABOUT IT AS THE DAY GOES ON AND ON. THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN
WHEN FEMALES ARE CRYING. CAN'T TELL 'EM
ABOUT IT, THOUGH. THAT YOU HAVE A SOFT SPOT
FOR ALL THE WOMEN ? YEAH. ( Mike )
THEY'RE NOT AS
HOT-TEMPERED. I TRY TO LIKE
EXTRA-HELP 'EM. JUST TAKE THIS OVER
THERE TO THAT GATE AND THEY'LL
TAKE YOU TO YOUR CAR. YOU WANT ME TO HOLD
ONTO THIS OR YOU WANT IT... I AIN'T GONNA
DO NOTHING TO IT. ALL RIGHT. JUST COME BACK UP
TO THE WINDOW. OKAY. ( Mike )
SHE WAS A STRAIGHT TOW. SHE WAS ILLEGALLY PARKED
IN CENTER CITY. AND EVERYBODY WHO
COMES IN, GOTTA GO BACK OUT BECAUSE THEIR PAPERWORK'S
ALWAYS IN THEIR CAR. I FEEL VERY BAD WHEN
PEOPLE ARE GETTING UPSET BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET
THEIR CARS OUT. HE WAS KIND OF COCKY
AND SARCASTIC. I TRY TO REALLY
GO THE EXTRA MILE TO TRY TO HELP THEM. HE'S OVER HERE LIKE
BOOHOOING AT THE WINDOW. YEAH, BOOHOO, YOU GIVE
ME $280. I'LL SEE YOU BOOHOO. OH, ( bleep ). SIR ? ( Jim )
JIM-- I'LL BE RIGHT THERE. OKAY, JIM. HE'S PROBABLY GONNA FLIP
WHEN I TELL HIM THAT HE HAS TO GET
THE INSURANCE, BUT... DID YOU TELL THEM TO FAX
OVER T INSURANCE TOO ? ( man )
SAY WHAT ? YOU CAN GO OUT
TO THE CAR TO SEE IF THE INSURANCE
IS IN THERE. WAIT, I'M GONNA HIT MY HEAD
AGAINST THE WALL. YOU READY ? NO, I DID NOT. MY GOD, MAN. CAN I GO TO
THE TRUCK AND SEE IF THE INSURANCE PAPER'S
THERE, PLEASE ? SURE. WHAT ELSE AM I GONNA NEED ? THAT'S IT. NOTHING ELSE ? I'M GONNA NEED YOUR LICENSE
WHEN YOU COME BACK. WHY ? BECAUSE I HAVE TO
MAKE A COPY OF IT. WHY ? BECAUSE IT HAS TO
BE A LICENSED DRIVER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE
OFF THE LOT. BRI, GIVE 'EM
YOUR LICENSE. GONNA PISS ME OFF, MAN. I FEEL BAD FOR HIM. SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T
PAY ATTENTION TO THE SIGNS. THIS IS ( bleep ). YOU NEED
THE INSURANCE CARD TOO ? I GOTTA GET THE INSURANCE CARD
OUT OF THE TRUCK. ( Andrea )
THEY GET PRETTY UPSET WITH US, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY JUST
DON'T PAY IT NO MIND. WHAT DID YOU SAY ? ( no sound ) ALL RIGHT,
SWEETHEART, RELAX. I CAN'T HEAR YOU THROUGH
THIS THICK GLASS. HANG ON ! I CAN'T HEAR YOU. I SWEAR TO GOD, MAN. THIS IS
( bleep ) ( bleep ). YOU GUYS TOOK MY
( bleep ) TRUCK. NOW YOU WANNA TALK ( bleep ). I'LL HELP YOU NOW, SIR. ( Jim )
I CAN'T HEAR YOU FROM
BEHIND THAT GLASS. I NEED TO GET MY
INSURANCE CARD OUT OF THERE. NO PROBLEM. IF THEY TELL ME THEY NEED
SOMETHING ELSE, THEY BETTER
SEND SOMEBODY ELSE OUT HERE TO GET IT. BUT I KINDA WANNA
REALLY GET OUT OF HERE. I HAVE A LIFE BESIDES
PARKING. YEAH. ( Andrea )
THE PROCESS, IT COULD BE A BIG INCONVENIENCE
TO SOME PEOPLE. BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU
HAVE AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF TICKETS THAT YOU KNEW NEED
TO BE PAID, YOU DESERVE IT. ( Andrea )
CAN I HELP YOU ? YEAH. I GOTTA GO TO WORK TODAY. I GOTTA GET MORE
TICKETS, YOU KNOW ? HERE'S YOUR
REGISTRATION CARD. THIS IS THE REASON YOUR
CAR WAS TOWED. YOU CAN PAY IT TODAY. YOU HAVE UP UNTIL
15 DAYS TO PAY IT. IT'S GOING RIGHT IN MY
PURSE WITH ITS FRIENDS. FINALLY. ( Andrea )
WEIRD THAT SHE HAD
ALL HER PAPERWORK, 'CAUSE IT SEEMS AS THOUGH
SHE WAS TRYING TO PICK-- TO FIND
SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. ( Ashley )
IT IS A PASSAGE INTO
ADULTHOOD. I MEAN, TICKETS
ARE ONE THING. ONCE YOUR CAR GETS TOWED, IT'S NOT THERE ANYMORE,
YOU'RE LIKE SHOCKED. ( Chelsea )
I SURE HOPE SHE'S
LEARNED HER LESSON. SHE'S NOT THAT GREAT
OF A DRIVER. EVENTUALLY,
IT'LL HIT HER, LIKE, "I NEED TO NOT PARK HERE." ( Ashley )
TO THE BLONDE TICKETER,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HOPE YOU GET PAID
$280 A DAY TO DO THAT... 'CAUSE I DON'T. SORRY, JUST REAL QUICK,
ALL RIGHT ? IS THIS MAKING YOUR DAY ? I SEE THAT LITTLE
SMIRK ON YOUR FACE. YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH PEOPLE LIKE
ME ALL DAY LONG, RIGHT ? YUP, ALL DAY. YOU CAN TAKE THIS WHITE FORM
OVER TO THE GATE AND THEY'LL RELEASE
THE VEHICLE TO YOU. HAVE A NICE DAY. YOU'RE BUSTING OUT. ( Andrea )
THE NICE PART TO THIS IS WHEN I SEE PEOPLE WALK AWAY
WITH A SMILE. I'M HAPPY
HE FOUND EVERYTHING THAT HE NEEDED TO FIND IN ORDER
TO GET HIS VEHICLE OUT. ( Jim )
DUDE, I'M PISSED. THEY WANTED TO PUT THEIR
HAND IN YOUR POCKET AND STEAL FROM
YOU AT THE SAME TIME. IF YOU WANNA MAKE AN HONEST
LIVING, STAY OUT OF PHILLY. Captioning presented by<font color="#0000FF">
