It was WRONG. If he had no handicapped plates or placard he was breaking the law, even a fireman.

Wrong!

I have a placard..........it is for when I take my father in law for his doctors appts......

never used it for my own benefit......never even been tempted to really.......I never park up front no matter where I go..........always in the back or near the back.......yes even if its cold or raining........

you see this alot.......go to a mall during holiday season......you will see every single handicapped spot taken... throughout the whole mall...........yeah right.....

someone either borrowed grand ma's placard....or just parked there out of selfishness..........makes me mad......but I never say anything........

Thats when you need a camera take a picture and send it to Fox4 and see if they will report it...and then take it to his supervisor at the fire station...but as soon as you left they would probably have a good laugh over it....

I have seen the police at Town East Mall check some place cards before. They asked all the right questions of the people driving the vehicles and made sure that the handicap person was in the car.

It pissed the crap out of me as well, to see all these healthy people with them as well. Or the ones that have one "because they take grandma or mom or someone who is handicap to the store once in awhile"

I wanted to take a pic of him and the car but, my phone does not have camera....I know I know...move up in the world and times....

But, I did get his license number.

My step dad is a "wheelie cat" - parapalegic.

I get out and lean on their driver side doors when I see it. I make a statement as I am very large. People get the message but it infuriates me.

okay....we know that alot of "regular" people who know, as well, that they should not be parking there do it.

But, I want to hear more of your thoughts on seeing a policeman or fireman or anyone that works for the law and should abide by it first before any of us.

It really bothers me when people park illegally in handicapped parking spaces. I have seen many people do it. If I could walk in from the back forty when I was nearly full term with two toddlers in tow, then some of these relatively healthy looking people can do it too! What made me really mad was the guy last year who was caught creating fake handicapped plates. He made a bundle selling them to lazy people.

My thoughts on firefighters and policemen doing that aren't any different than my thoughts about others doing it.

They break the law just like ordinary citizens. You see them on the news getting caught driving drunk, beating up their wifes in some cases killing their wife. They gamble and are crooked just like everyone else.

But, then again, some may think that a uniform gives them right that civilians don't have. Maybe?

I think you're right.

A few years ago, I parked in a handicapp space while my wife ran in and grabbed a gallon of milk at a kroger. Within seconds of my wife getting off a cop blocked me and asked who what disabled. I replied that no on was and he threatened to give me a $200 citation.

I begged him not too. Well, he didn't but that was the only and last time I ever did that. Even if I'm only getting off for a second I'll park far away. Not only to walk more but to keep others from hitting my vehicles with their car doors.
