<p>It looks like I’m going to be able to get a good deal on a parking pass in the lot near sunset village. I know this isn’t actually allowed so I have a few questions. </p>
<li><p>What are the odds of getting caught? It’s my impression that many people buy/sell parking?</p></li>
<li><p>If I am caught what will happen? Once again it’s my impression that this practice is kind of common…</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>I dont have parking right now but somebody is willing to sell me their spot in "the lot near sunset village." That's all the email said :)</p>

<p>If you get caught, you will be expelled.</p>
<p>I used to have SV(Sunset Village)ST permit. Barely there's any staff walk around the structure like lot 4 and lot 7 do. But I think you shouldn't take the risk. Besides, SV is always full at all levels except the lowest one after 10am.</p>
<p>1) Yes it seems to be pretty rampant and there are a lot of idiots that do it through the university forums that are just begging to be caught and should be caught for their blatant stupidity. If you and the seller are not obvious idiots that hold red signs above your heads, then its somewhat hard to get caught. They never asked for your insurance information or license plate or car model so far as I remember to document down (although now they require you to show proof of insurance and your driver's license during their mandatory preliminary audits for residence hall applicants, but they just check to see that you have it and don't record the information). I was randomly audited during the quarter (you get an email and a letter home stating that you've been randomly selected to become audited, which is chosen at random by computer) and all they asked from me was again proof of the information I put down on my application (same thing as during the preliminary audits) , and a printout of my classes to make sure I was still a student (they probably did their own background check to see that you were still living in the residence halls too if you applied as someone living on-campus).</p>
<p>2) If you're caught (usually buying from idiots that explicitly state in public forums (like the UCLA forum where they can obtain the poster's information if they felt like following up on the illegal action since its ran by UCLA after all) that their university parking permits are for sale as opposed to those who say "close by to xy building" where they technically never state that its a school parking permit) then it could be very minor where they simply revoke you and the seller's ability to ever obtain a parking permit, or they do what they're supposed to do which is refer you to the Dean of Student Office for "further disciplinary actions" which they don't elaborate on in their website.</p>
<p>And I wouldn't really gamble on trying to park in the structures w/o a permit, especially at the DD lot where they check during the most random times and very often (it seemed as though the enforcer lived there during some years)</p>

<p>BS. I'm not dumb enough to believe that....</p>
<p>Thankfully, you aren't!</p>
<p>the repercussions are not that severe...but there ARE repercussions...</p>
<p>My friend that did that got a ticket, the pass was revoked and he had to have a chat with the dean of his department. He was embarassed and only got a few weeks worth of parking out of it.</p>
<p>the bottom line is that permit transferring falls under academic dishonesty. this means that punishment can be as minor as a ticket or as severe as expulsion depending on the circumstance and the dean you deal with. i say it's best not to eff around with academic dishonesty. </p>
<p>but really. youre going to do what you want and deal with the possible repercussions later. so oh well.</p>
