Parking-permit pirate is discovered

 

 

A forged parking permit was discovered in a vehicle parked in Parking Lot 11-B.

Forged parking permits are created by  students who attempt to duplicate the current parking permit, using computers. Parking officers are trained to distinguish real from fake permits, Solorzano said.

In the past, Cal State Long Beach permits had a “void” sign on the permit so that those attempting to copy a permit could not easily do so, Solorzano said. The current forgery case is under investigation.

Several verbal disputes have occurred in the past few weeks, including lewd comments and parking disputes.

A bystander observed the incident and called police, who settled the situation with both parties leaving the area.
