Screwing over the taxpayer, in classic Santa Ana hearing officer Vicki Tamoush fashion

When Vicki Tamoush isn't invoking her own strange justice in wage claims, she has the chance to play games with BOFE citations.  LT wrote this one citation to a car wash, and the car wash owner appealed the citation.  Vicki Tamoush attempts to flim-flam the owner by tricking him into signing a time statute appeal waiver, so this way she can continue the hearing and nail the owner to the tune of $10,000.  The owner asks her to explain what he's about to sign, she mumbles something he doesn't understand (apparently hearing officer Tamoush cannot properly explain a citation waiver), so he refuses to sign what he doesn't understand.

Tamoush has no choice but to dismiss the citation because DLSE took too long in scheduling it.  Tamoush knows that she cannot hold the hearing unless the owner signs the time waiver, but instead of dismissing it as required, she sadly attempts to circumvent justice by tricking him into signing it.  This is another flagrant example of a classic DLSE/DIRt/LWDA butt-lick: someone who knows the law and knows better but deliberately acts contrary to the law or ethical codes of professional public service.  Tamoush also waited until the day of the citation hearing to attempt this hoodwink.  This garbage goes on all day because Jorge Gomez and Abigael Calva allow, permit, and condone Tamoush's boorish behavior against the taxpayer.
