>>1837551I mess with bike lane parkers all the time.
Easiest thing to do is not say anything, just conspicuously pull out your phone & take a picture of their license plate & the driver. (My state requires front plates.)
Most of the time they'll pull away immediately, but occasionally one will get aggressive & talk back. It's what you'd expect, some form of "What the fuck? You can't take a picture of me! Or my vehicle", etc.
"You're in public. I'm just reporting it through the 311 app. Parked in a bike lane." (You can report parking issues with this tool, but a picture isn't required, it just freaks people out.)
If they still don't leave, I'll actually call the PEO & report them lol. Sometimes they'll huff and say "Well, I'm NOT leaving" and I'll just say twisted shit to try to get a rise out of them.
"Oh, I don't have a job, or any responsibilities. I can just wait until they arrive, get a positive ID on the criminal."
The funniest thing is when people pull the race card, "I betchu ain't even report a white person." That shit happens 10x more often, since the death of St Floyd.
