Controversy

In October 2013, people in British Columbia complained that Diamond Parking was issuing tickets to drivers who were not even parked in their lots.[1]

In April 2022, user laurapalmer24 alleged on Reddit that their car was broken into in a parking lot operated by Diamond and that Diamond did not provide sufficient security, especially given posted signage warning would-be parkers and criminals that the lot was patrolled. A debate ensured with some saying the lot had no legal liability, others arguing the city should do more to ramp down on crime, but many agreed that Diamond should provide more security. A significant number recommended not parking downtown in the evening.
