Here are the pics from today for my proofs.  Updates will come daily until this is cleared up.
 
 
The lying Police Chief sent me this e-mail in May, 2012 stating "tagging before removal" of illegally parked/stored commercial vehicles in a residential neighborhood.  The Police Chief had the vehicle removed over and over again for about 1 year.  How corrupt can it get? 
 
Here is that specific e-mail.
 
  
Then our lying Police Chief gives out another City Code (that he makes up; e-mail below) ,and he claims it makes it, so he does not follow the residential parking laws in his lying, corrupt, uncivil e-mails to me. 
 
I have received more than 1 lying, corrupt, uncivil e-mail from our illustrious Chief of Police for months on end, just like this one. 
 
 
Then the Police Chief sent me another lying, corrupt, uncivil e-mail telling me he will look into the matter.
 
 
Sincerely,
 
Bev Beaufait

"Last night we heard from the owners of the truck.  It belongs to a couple who recently moved to Louisville and who just purchased the vehicle.  The husband and wife are a little distressed about why the selective enforcement against them.  Commander Kingston will speak with them and convey our assurances that this is all quite routine and innocent. "

This quote is from a May 25, 2012 e-mail to me from Bruce Goodman, Police Chief.  He knows the rules.  He applies them when he wants.  He is a bully.  He does not do his job that he is paid to do.  He should be fired on the spot.  If he did his job correctly, the first time he contacted the owners, he would not be  backed into a corner to save face.  Now, he will not do his job, just to try to prove he is correct, when he is so very wrong.
