The man who claims he was assaulted by a Winnipeg Parking Authority official last summer, has launched a blog detailing his case. The Abuses of The Winnipeg Parking Authority includes audio of our exclusive interview last week.
"When the parking authority official was told that the Winnipeg Police supported Jason in the illegitimacy of the ticket he responded by saying “We don’t care what the police say, they have no control over us”.
And the latest experience of Jason Ross with the WPA, shows even more secrecy going on then we knew.
Read all about how the WPA illegally ticketed and towed the musicians' truck, claimed they were above the police, and confronted the driver when he insisted on an uncaring official of this city-council sanctioned agency identifying himself for the record.
And after waiting 5 months for police to investigate, Jason has now learned not to don't bother trying to call the WPA directly. The City 311 service is Dave Hill's new gatekeeper.
"the only number you can call is a private line to someone who can decide whether or not they want to return your call or even talk to you in the first place... They can seize your property at their discretion, put liens against you personally, but you can't even phone them when they are open."
Jason tells TGCTS he may have to add to his Freedom of Information (FOI) request as a result of his latest encounter with the stone wall known as the WPA.
