A woman discovered an Orlando Police Department officer parked in her designated spot and left a note warning that if the officer continues to park inappropriately, their vehicle will be towed.
A TikTok video by creator Ruby Red (Ruby.Red53) showing a transgression has gained over 327,700 views and sparked a debate with hundreds of comments. In the video, Ruby explains the assigned parking situation and the need to pay for it, with sirens in the background.
Despite Ruby Red’s monthly payment for her parking space, she claims to have frequently encountered the officer’s car parked in her assigned spot. In the video, she said,
“So I’m gonna leave him a little notey-note and let him know that [I’d] hate to have to tow him.”
She later revealed the note that she left for the officer, which said,
“Hey officer, this is my parking space (assigned parking). Please don’t park here. I would hate to have to get your vehicle towed.”
Many TikTok users chimed in, as one person wrote,
“I’m not leaving no note he would have had to pick his truck up from the tow yard.”
Another user penned,
“call the department and let them know his cruiser number and he won’t do that again.”
“You too nice he woulda never left you no note it woulda been $435 at that yard,”
said another user.
In a now-deleted subsequent update shared on Wednesday, five days after her initial video, the TikToker mentioned that her approach with a note was successful, and she didn’t need to reach out to her leasing office, a towing company, or the officer’s precinct or sergeant.
