There are a few California Vehicle Codes for this infraction and they can be sited and towed. Look up and read CVC 22511ehunter wrote:Can you link to where the topic is?
There are no laws on the books that can be enforced if somebody ICEs a station. At least in San Francisco there are not. Just hope you have the juice to make it to the next station else you are hosed.

That's just one that covers it but I have read a few other CVC. Once you point that out to the Police the ticket quota will go up.
Under California Vehicle Code section 22511, non-electric vehicles parked in spaces reserved for electric vehicles are subject to fines up to $100 and may be towed away at the owner's expense.
