Can they write traffic and/or parking tickets? Specificaly, a ticket for not putting the yearly decal on your tag. I've been digging and found that the person that ticketed my car is a retired APD officer. What power does he have to ticket for registration or anything non-parking related?
I keep the decal inside my car because it gets stolen too often when I park in Downtown Atlanta. GA law previous to this year didn't require that you put the decal on your tag. It was changed recently and, of course, I only just found out about it because of this ticket. There is now a 25$ fine wether you have the decal or not. I've been asked to show the decal and sent on my way many, many times.
This time, I was parked on a public street and away from my car for not more than 30 seconds and the security officer threw the ticket onto my wind-sheild as I was pulling off. I was not asked to show the decal.
