Vida's Meter Maid Gets Spanked

TMZ has learned that the "meter maid" who asked for a naked photo of bikini model Vida Guerra in return for leniency on her parking ticket has been officially suspended. Not so lovely!
Vida and the Meter Maid
According to Parking Enforcement Manager Eric Ruiz, officer L. Salgado will not be patrolling the sidewalks while the City conducts an official investigation into the incident. Furthermore, buzz inside the station is that Salgado, who is said to be 18 or 19-years-old, will be fired.

TMZ caught the whole thing on tape over the weekend, showing that after ticketing Guerra, Salgado was heard telling Vida's friend, "You got a naked picture of her, we make the price stay right."

That's the ticket!

16. How would it be TMZ's fault the kid lost his job??? How can anyone want to enable his being stupid?
Did those that are crying this watch the video at all?

"You got a naked picture of her, we make the price stay right."

TMZ camera's were not there for the kid giving the ticket!
He could have just shut up instead he was showing off and did himself in.
Should TMZ have destroyed the tape? Is that what you wanted? Idiots

17. I don't care how old the kid is....let this be an important lesson to him. And hurray for Vida's friend who took up for her like a mature adult instead of getting violent.

18. Amazing that when you have video evidence, something actually happens.

I recall addressing Mr. Eric Ruiz both via phone and in writing that a parking "officer" physically barred me from getting into my car at a FAULTY METER while he wrote me a ticket... and called me a n****r infront of my son to boot. Mr Ruiz totally ignored my complaint and my letters.

Glad to see you'll do your job when its on tape. Or was it because its a celebrity??
Maybe both?!?!

ERIC RUIZ IS A PRICK!

# 21 "Otherwise how else would this desperate young man know that they had naked pictures "

Your so misinformed and desperate to find a conspiracy theory that your post looks ignorant. Read the rest of the posts or goggle her name and you might get a clue how the kid knew of her before he ever gave her the ticket. She didnt bribe him with naked pics before ok? lol

21. #14 you are totally right....dumb people think that if the guy is illegal he would have that job? lol retards!!!

22. Just because she is not popular in the white/black community's dose not mean she is not well know among her own.
Don't be so narrow minded. If you don't know who she is she must be no one lmao The kid knew who she was.

23. I agree w/ #6-rather see more trash on britney.....TMZ, put more interesting stuff on your website!!! I'm at work and I want to spend my bosses time on something interesting...other then work!!
And, I think - (not sure) but I think VIDA is "EVERYONE'S FRIEND ON MYSPACE" that's what my co-workers here at work said!

24. The kid was stupid no argument here, he should be disciplined or fired. 18 is to young anyway for that job, how much can they really find on a back ground check at 18?

My question's. # 1 - Did the TMZ photog tell the kid who she was?
# 2 - Did the TMZ photog point out the fact that her car was 2 minutes over the time limit to the parking enforcement officers?

25. Who's this Vida Guerra woman, and why is TMZ paying so much attention on her?
Jessica Alba has herpes! This is big news, but TMZ still hasn't wrote anything about it. What the hell is going on?

26. #23 oh she is VERY popular in the black community considering she got her exposure from the Dave Chappelle show. Yes, she's kind of homly in the face, butt google that name and you will understand why so many men love her!

27. #15 (Mercenery) You must be a Preacher, cause you're preaching the truth

28. #27 LolaViolet or whomever you are Don't speak for all of us. I've NEVER heard of her. And (1) appearance on a tv show doesn't make you a tv star - EXTRAS !

29. #27

Lots of white people also watch Dave Chappelle and I for sure have never seen nor heard of her.

30. # 29 - Obviously. She's not a "star" perse, but very famous for her assets. She was featured on the 1st R. Kelly sketch Dave Chappelle did and the audience went wild trying to figure out who this big-assed beauty was. Maxim, Stuff, FHM, etc. soon caught on and she's been on many many covers. TMZ, and apparently most of America, are just catching up.
