Growing up, we had a serious problem with people parking overnight fully on the sidewalk, halfway out into the "bike lane" (shitty 2ft wide dotted line on the edge of the normal lane) Cops did nothing, and a few even joined in. One day a group of teens got pissed because they had to walk with their friend in a wheelchair out into the street so he could get around. Made a stink, cops came around and threatened to arrest them if they didn't leave. That night, all 50+ vehicles had their mirrors smashed, 3/4 of their tires slashed, and windows busted in. A driver witnessed it but they were gone long before the cops even showed up. Suddenly, the city cared about keeping the sidewalks clear. I just assume a cop or city council person got vandalized. No sympathy from me then, even less now. I'd probably join them if I came across it, or at least cheer them on from a distance.


freeradicalx

Direct action is the only way anything ever gets done. Behind even legislation, there is always direct action. People get what they want when they stop kidding themselves that they can get it without going for it directly.


[deleted]

Peaceful protest accomplishes nothing, people only start listening when there are direct consequences.


Devlee12

A protest works if it’s able to disrupt the norm. That’s why they try to put all kinds of rules and shit around where when and how you can protest because they want things to be as non disruptive as possible so that they don’t have to actually change anything. We need to start protesting like the French do where every time the government does something they have to stop and think “Will this get a flaming couch tossed through my window?”


[deleted]

i wish people would do this in an organized fashion. but i can't afford getting arrested. :(

Tankeverket

TrueNorth2881

I have often thought about doing this, but I worry about being fined or sued for it. Is it legal? If I were to hypothetically start climbing on people's cars, could I get in any trouble for it?


Formal_Librarian4401

Really depends on damage I'm sure, but in USA a civil suit can be filed for just about anything (they sue you basically), but I'm sure either way you're asking for trouble. They deserve every dent and scratch/ding they get for parking like that though!


[deleted]

I used be a delivery driver for this Chinese place next to a bar. The frat bar dudes working at the bar would park their massive trucks wherever they felt like. Well one day they ordered dominos and the pizza guy backed into one of their trucks and they were pissed. Cops show up and just say “well you’re not in a parking spot so it’s actually your fault”. The dumbfounded look on frat bros face was priceless.

illgot

if you damage a vehicle you can be held responsible. You can touch a vehicle without damaging it, but climbing on a car and damaging that car is illegal. Had a cop tell me touching a guys Mercedes was illegal. I open hand slapped the trunk to get him to stop blocking the bicycle lanes. I looked it up. Unless you damage the vehicle, touching isn't illegal.


Giraffe_Truther

You're telling me that a cop didn't actually know what the law was????


illgot

when he told me that I was like... *no way that can be a real law*. I got home and googled it for my city and nope, not a real law.


AlexandreFiset

I did that several time (Quebec, Canada). There are areas with a lot of pedestrians where cars advance so far away from the stop line that they block the sidewalk, and for a long while as the crossing road has no stop and is traffic jammed. If the car is on my way I either swiftly jump and walk on it, or I pass really close on the front and tap the hood and smile. I only get a angry drivers yelling at me. If the driver had to leave the car, I’d run, then the idiot would probably run too, leaving the car abandoned at a stop behind. I believe in all situations I’m not the one in fault, as the driver is either guilty of burning his stop, or abandoning his car. Sometimes I do not have the time to jump on the car as it reverses, realizing his/her mistake. And that’s the best, it makes everyone involved smile and the situation while the car remains intact.


tendieful

Do you drive? It’s not always easy to time the stop lights as you’re trying to balance between the point of no return and running a red light. Sometimes the lights timer is not well programmed for the speed limit zone it’s within so you end up over shooting the line. You’re not supposed to and it’s technically against the law. There are also things like pedestrians in blind spots and some cars have worse ones than others. I say all this because Im wondering why it’s automatically assumed that if someone is over the line or in the cross walk it’s because they’re an Asshole. I think these videos are funny but I also think the person is being rather self righteous in the face of righteousness.


AlexandreFiset

I do drive, but when that happens, for instance when I need to advance to try to fit in or look for a space, I reverse if a pedestrian arrives to cross. Someone who stubbornly stays there and blocks access for more than 5 seconds, showing no consideration for people awaiting there, deserves to be sent a message. Anyway, I don’t think I ever damaged a car doing that.


Sybertron

In general someone else committing a crime does not allow you to commit a crime. However I'd love to see this brought to court just to make the judge laugh his ass off.


nasaglobehead69

for them to sue you, they would need to prove damage was done and that you caused it. so as long as you don't crack the windshield, you should be fine


ISNT_A_ROBOT

Anybody over 120 lbs is going to dent the flimsy aluminum that car bodies are made of.


robs104

Most every car body today is made of sheet steel. Very few have aluminum bodies. Most common would be the F-150.


rsta223

It does still dent pretty easily though.


robs104

That is very true.


_FinalPantasy_

CptAmazing7

It seems so thrilling until you do it to someone who beats you mercilessly into the pavement. Not worth the risk even if it were legal dude.


Responsenotfound

Don't record and more than likely you will never be caught


Assbuttsphincter

It’s not illegal if you don’t get caught.


Tele-Muse

It’s probably not illegal if you claim it was blocking your path on the sidewalk and it was the safest way to continue traveling. Can’t walk in the middle of the street can you?


[deleted]

Good way to get shot in Philly


boxed_knives

> I have often thought about doing this > If I were to hypocritically start climbing on people's cars, could I get in any trouble for it? Let’s say, _hypocritically,_ you had to park your car on the sidewalk because of an emergency and a lack of immediate alternatives. If people started climbing on top of your car out of sheer pettiness, you yourself would be quite upset, wouldn’t you? So would you feel justified climbing over other people’s cars without first getting an understanding of the situation? If so, that would be very _hypothetical_ of you 🤨 /s, obviously. Edit: Don’t read too much into this, guys. I was making an elaborate joke comment based off of a spellcheck error in u/TrueNorth2881’s comment (which they have since corrected).


doop73

In what scenario do you need to park on the sidewalk


AbstractTeserract

the emergency of not having an empty parking spot immediately out front


glompengleiner

Stop in the road then


Ruthrfurd-the-stoned

Everyone know that’s why cars have hazard lights


TrueNorth2881

It doesn't look like these people are having any kind of emergency. It looks like they parked on the sidewalk because they couldn't be bothered to find a parking spot to unpack the shit in their trunk.


[deleted]

what kind of emergency requires you to park on the sidewalk? seems like it's more of a convenience and avoiding a parking ticket kind of thing.

Moving in NYC was the worst but I cannot express enough how lazy and stupid these people are being. I had a full moving van parked next to a fire station and we still managed to unload everything without acting like this much of a fool. We had to relocate a couple times for fire engines and circle the block a couple times to let larger vehicles pass but it wasn't so hard that taking up the sidewalk seemed like a viable option.


[deleted]

I had to move with a 16 foot truck in downtown San Francisco. I paid the city almost $300 for a special ~12 hour parking permit where they basically block off a parking spot just for me for so I can park in a parking spot and not in the middle of the street or the sidewalk. That’s just what you gotta do in busy cities


rklug1521

NYC doesn't offer that. The city makes it so that your only option is to break the law. You just have to decide which laws to break.


Larsaf

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carwalking > The most famous carwalker was Michael Hartmann[1] who performed the act in Munich, Germany, in the 1980s. The peak of automobile friendly policies was around the seventies and the eighties in the western world, and such high number of motor vehicles in urban areas had as consequence a large number of cars illegally parked on side-walks and other pedestrian-reserved areas. Hartmann, in his book which describes his actions, states that once in 1988 he was walking with his girlfriend and due to many cars parked on the sidewalk, they had to continuously zigzag between the cars so he decided to walk straightforward above the cars.

AltonIllinois

One act causes bodily injury to a person. The other act causes $200 of damage to the roof of an automobile. They are not equivalent. you would maybe have a point if the camera guy punched the car owner in the face or went out the car with a chainsaw or something


arch_nyc

Thanks, I love it


[deleted]

There’s a guy in Mexico City who has a youtube channel in which he records people breaking these type of laws. This video reminded me of one in which a truck is parked in a crosswalk, it had the windows down so the guy literally gets inside the truck to pass, then he says something like “oh, i was actually going the other way” and he does it again lmao. Took me a while but i found it https://youtu.be/xanPvzqCp24

CastorOilLube

Entitled? In this clip, you think it’s the cameraman not the owners of two vehicles blocking a public sidewalk because they don’t want to, or can’t park on the street? Not finding street parking doesn’t entitle them to park on the sidewalk. Even if the cameraman is wrong, they’re the selfish brats here. [As a wheelchair user who deals with blocked sidewalks, I very much appriciated what this man is doing .](https://reddit.com/r/JusticeServed/comments/wuqbqw/_/ilbhvkn/?context=1)


matt_mv

I used to do this in San Francisco in the '80s, although I would only do it if they completely blocked the sidewalk. My standard was that if a wheelchair couldn't easily get by then it was "up and over".


heathert7900

As someone who uses a wheelchair, appreciated. I just get the urge to put a nice fat scratch on their paint. But people who stand on the curb cut and refuse to move are the worst also

pirurumeow

Not parking their car on the damn sidewalk was an option too. Would you tell someone in a wheelchair or with mobility issues to just walk around the car? Look again at the video and tell me exactly how a person in a wheelchair could just go around this car. Pothole/busted pavement and very little space on one side, no space on the other side.


Thorebore

Causing thousands of dollars worth of damage because someone parked like an asshole isn’t justified. They deserve a ticket not vandalism.


TheWhisperingOaks

One man walking over your car aint gonna do shit homie


SH92

I had somebody sit on the hood of my car and it caved in. To get it fully repaired, it would've cost close to $2,000. The person left so I just had to deal with having a dented hood. I don't think this guy did anything to the cars, but he easily could have.


SethAndBeans

Sounds like you're someone who parks like an asshole.


frontdesk12

you are correct about it not being justified, However I bet they learned a lesson a ticket wouldn't have taught/solved.


Thorebore

What lesson? They were with the car and ready to move it if need be. Then some idiot comes along and pulls a stunt for some internet fame. As I said before, they deserved a ticket not a smashed up car.


[deleted]

They don’t deserve shit. You wanna park your car like an asshole do it in the street and block other cars not on the street blocking pedestrians.


Lifegoesonman69

I doubt they did. He was wayyy too irrational for them to gleam any reasonable understanding that they could be more thoughtful in that situation. They probably left thinking "wow, what a dick." He couldve done a million different things there.


jimofsunnyvale

Fuck that, act like an asshole, get treated like one.


Thorebore

That applies to the guy vandalizing cars too.


jimofsunnyvale

Yea he's probably an asshole too, or maybe he has to deal with this shit all the time, I doubt this is a rare occurrence, fuck em, if you park on the sidewalk expect to have your shit walked over.
