Even IF Nieto was transporting disabled parent that WOULD have disabled parking permits, why are county resources being used to give rides to employees’ family?

Monterey County Sheriff seen parked in a handicap spot

A photo obtained by KION shows the county work car that Monterey County Sherriff Tina Nieto drives parked in a handicap zone. This photo was taken on July 14, 2024 on Lincoln Avenue.

The photo was taken just days after KION reported that Sheriff Nieto was pulled over at least three times for speeds over 90 mph by the CHP in King City.

We have reached out to the Sheriff for comment, and a spokesperson for the Sheriff told KION that Nieto has a handicap placard because she drives her parents around sometimes.

Sheriff Nieto’s office stated that her parents were in the car that day and then rode in the golf cart with her during the parade. Witnesses tell KION that they did not see the Sheriff’s parents in the car.

Tina Nietos Need For Speed

CHP pops her three times and every time “professional courtesy” lets her go.

In the first dash cam video, the CHP officer pulls over Nieto after he said she passed him at a speed of 95 miles per hour.

“You were in and out of traffic [inaudible] to about 90 okay,” said the officer in the video. “No worries, we’re just, obviously going to give you a warning but ah, just make sure you slow down a little bit and just be a little more cognizant.”

The officer tells the sheriff to drive safely before walking back to his vehicle.

CHP Officer: Were you running code 3?

Nieto: They haven’t upgraded my vehicle yet.

CHP Officer: Alright, so I’m not going to issue you a citation. This is the second time I stopped you for your speed. Umm, I don’t know what it’s going to take to slow down but… Next time if you’re obviously speeding and you’re not going to an emergency, it’s going to be a little different, okay?

The officer emphasized to Nieto he wanted to make sure she and everyone else on the road was able to get where they needed to be safely before he walked back to his patrol car.
