Motel 6 Hotels in Cocoa Beach

The City of Walnut Creek is allowed into the Motel 6 parking lot on a nightly basis to run all car license plates for warrants checks and code violations. When questioning Managent about how this is was possible since the Motel parking lot is considered private property and the cars drivers were paying customers, the Motel indicated that the City of Walnut Creek purchased in on the franchise in an amount less than one half of one percent, which provides a legal loophole that allows local law enforcement onto the property without needing anyones authorization. The tow truck company also verbally confirmed that the hotel does receive a kick back from the tow yard. So the City profits from the citation revenue, the tow yard profits from the outrageously punitive fees to release the vehicles which in most cases permanently deprives the guest of their only transportation resource when they cannot afford to pay the nightly storage fees & the tow yard auctions the vehicle. The Motel is conveniently located on the border of Pleasant Hill barely over the City of Walnut Creek boundary line. This allows the City to collect the revenue created by these unscrupulous policies without drawing the “riff raff” to far in. Despite being one of the more expensive & exclusive areas in the County, Motel 6 Walnut Creek consistently offers the lowest advertised nightly rates county wide. This is by design in order to attract the poor and destitute members of the community who have the least amount of resources to legally protect themselves from officers in search of the low hanging fruit to meet their citation quotas. This is Shady AF and exactly the type of predatory behavior by community law enforcement created “to serve and protect” that has mutated culturally into a militarized force that preys upon its own citizenry for profit under our current “corporatocracy”
