Last month, the Florida Department of Health inspected the property and told them they need to become a mobile home park.

"We could not believe it,"

Allen said the last time a mobile home was placed on the property was 1986, and they have complied with all state and county laws.

"We're torn apart by it. We don't know what to do," she said.

They're confused and frustrated and the bureaucracy is not helping.

The Florida Bureau of Mobile Homes told them they do not meet the standard for a park and the zoning department told them they're not zoned for a mobile home community.

"We don't understand who is right and who is wrong," said Allen.

And if they refuse to turn their property into a mobile home park they are subject to hefty fines. 

"We are fined $500 a day

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- No one likes a ticket, not even a parking citation; and when the ticket information is wrong it only adds insult to injury.

"I was upset because on October 14th I was right here," said Steve Hunt.

Hunt received a ticket that says he was in North Miami
...more that day and was caught by a red light camera breaking the law and when he called the City of Miami for help he became angrier. 

"The only thing they could tell me was hire an attorney to fight it or drive to Miami for a court date," he said.

Hunt said he was not driving on Opa Locka Blvd, as the ticket states, and the red light camera video proves it.

"It wasn't my car it wasn't my tag,' said Hunt. 

In the video the car is a gray four door Mercedes Benz, Hunt drives a green two door GMC pick up truck.  In the video, the tag on the Mercedes ends in XGE, the tag on Hunts truck ends in XGF.

"I though this mistake is so simple," said Hunt, " this
