FD 360826 Questionable Practice

FD 360826 Questionable Practice is a practice of Loudoun County, Virginia to finance the county through notices that is in question for some concerned residents.

FD 360826

On October 18th, 2018, one driver, referred here as GAJ, was picking a passenger at the International Washington Dulles Airport. GAJ waited for the passenger in the dedicated cell-phone parking and, when the passenger called that he is standing at Door 4 on the upper arrivals level, GAJ started moving towards the door.

According to GAJ, the traffic was heavy. Several traffic officers tried to regulate it. While following their instructions, GAJ parked at the closest spot to the Door 4, picked up the passenger and his luggage and left the airport. GAJ asserts that GAJ didn't park nor wait for the passenger -- the passenger was waiting at the door and it took very short time to load the luggage and get the passenger sited in the car.

Later in that day, GAJ discovered No FD 360826 "Notice of parking violation" at the windshield. The notice stated that "Violation of posted sign" as its reason.

GAJ returned to the airport and failed to find any sign that GAJ could possibly violate. However, another part of the notice deeply offended GAJ -- the notice stated that GAJ received the "Violator's copy," so the Loudoun County made its decision that GAJ is a violator without any judiciary authority.
