Since, it is not a policemans duty to give out tickets on private property, why can't we as citizens give out tickets and report those who park in the handicap spots with no stickers or license plates.  This is an on going situation and would personally like to have it stopped.  I'm disabled and it is sad to see a person park here and not be.  And make me or others worse than I to have to walk a mile, when we legally have the right to park there.

I totally agree- the best you can do is post a handicap only sign and antoher one saying violators will be towed at owners expense.  If these are clearly marked then you can call and have them towed if a non-eligible person parks there.  As long as you specify towing at owners expense you cannot be charged for anything.\n\nThis is why we live in a nation where the largest health risk is obesity- people are too damn lazy to walk the 10 feet across the parking lot!

MY ANSWER IS THIS. YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PARKING IN PHILADELPHIA. TOO MANY IILEGAL BRIBES AND TOO MUCH TOWING WITHOUT NOTICES FOR HEARINGS AND IT HAPPENED TO ME. WROTE A BLOG ON IT. SICK OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE PERFECT DRIVING RECORDS GETTING HARRASSED BY PHILA PPA. CITY HALL AND THEN PPA LIES AND SAYS OH WELL WE SENT NOTICES-THEN 3 DAYS BEFORE HEARING TO DISPUTE TICKETS YOU TOW SOMEBODY'S CAR? TRUST ME THE FBI WASN'T THERE FOR NOTHING . IM A PI -IN TRAINING AND NOW YA'LL PISSED HALF OF WEST PHILA AND MANAYUNK OFF. WHAT IF I BROUGHT IT TO CITY HALL TO GET PERMIT PARKING INSTEAD? HMMMMMM SO PONDER IT. I CAN'T EVEN PARK ON MY STREET SAT ,FRIDAY BECAUSE COLLEGE KIDS TAKE UP TO PARTY. THEN I GET TICKETED IN MY DRIVEWAY? YET I GOT PICS OF LOCALS PARKED IN TOW ZONES,ON THE SIDEWALKS AND IN FRONT OF FIRE ZONES/HYDRANTS AND NO TICKETS THERE? YEAH. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? LOL MEXXI. CLICK ON TO MY  ICON TO REPLY IF YOU WANT.ANYONE SAY AY! TO THIS?

For legal guidance, consult an attorney.  Three percent of all public parking lots must be reserved for handicapped spaces.  It's just good business--and socially the right thing to do.  Regardless of that, I know how upsetting it is when you make an unfortunate mistake and park your car in a space that is marked.  It's similiar when you run a red light because you didn't notice, or go into an HOV lane because you were distracted or on a cell phone.  Good luck to you!

So, since I'm gay, and apparently that means I'm mentally handicapped...Do I get to use those freakin' awesome parking spaces that are so close to the entrance of most stores?  Like walmart.  Damn, parking sucks there.  I could so use this on them.  Eee!  I'm excited!\n\nIt really is a bunch of BS, and goes to show how anti-gay our military really is.  Next thing you know, they'll say it's a contagious mental disease, and they'll say they don't want all of the army turning gay, having sex instead of fighting, and leaving all their families back home.  Ah well.  At least I win in the end, with my awesome parking spaces.

Any parking violations? You know ,  outstanding parking tix?\n\nIf you let them go, they can come after you I think.\n\nGood Luck with whatever it is.......

That's horrendous.  Unfortunately, unpaid ticket = arrest warrant, so they were within their legal rights.  \n\nThis kind of police action, especially if unchallenged, is one of the first steps to a police state.

i think you are correct and it is getting to that point, the police in my opinion have way to much leeway!! the other day, i was in a car with my friend who was speeding, she got pulled over and the officer wanted my ID also!!! why, i was not driving the car, i did not break the law at all, yet if i don't turn over my ID i can go to jail for failure to provide ID. this is terrible and i feel it is not right.

How would you know they are illegal?  Are you just making assumptions because they are different from you?  I live next door to some US citizens, and they are declining my property values, by having junk cars parked all over the place and weeds growing on their property.....What can I do?  Hope and pray they move and mind my own business and accept that some people are slobs....

he was backed into while on a street (by a car leaving a driveway).... from what i have heard he had the right of way.\nThere were no tickets issued.\n\nagain, there were no tickets issued, and backed into and running into a car backing out of a private drive is a technicality... he still would have had the right of way on a public road.

I call the tow truck or the mall security to fetch a dandy of parkig ticket. REALLY like those people who park in handicapped spots. they get extra special attention from me.

It's not the city as a whole, just a few idiots! If there is such a thing as Karma, they'll someday get back what they have given out. They should make the lights longer.\n\n\nI love your suggestion about the parade. Awesome idea!!

They deny they have quotas, but they have a little gimmick called citizen contact points.  The more points you get the better cop you are (and the more tickets you write and revenue you generate incidentally). \n\nNever talk to a cop, use the statement "If you choose to cite me or arrest me I will cooperate, otherwise I will now answer no more qustions" (AFTER you have provided I.D. registration etc.) \n\nIt is your right, and they know it.

Wow, I didn't know stuff like that still happened. I've seen if for stadiums but not highways.  I have two answers, contact the ACLU, and start a petition with signatures of all others that are affected by this.  I'm sure they feel like you do, attract as much publicity as you can, public offices don't like to look bad.

Week after week they are in our local paper - immigrants caught driving with no license, insurance, tax or MOT.  It makes me furious that the court fines them £80.00 and gives them 6 points on a license they haven't even got.  Wheres the deterrent ??? My daughter paid £800 for her insurance when she was young - she would never have thought have driving without it because she has a conscience - these people don't. What we need is harsher sentencing or better still a ruling which says asylum seekers convicted of anything in the first year here get deported - then we don't have them stuck in our prisons paid for with tax payers money xx\n\nTo all you who are saying this is racist - I don't see it. Maybe you dont live in an area affected by these drivers. I live near Harlington where many asylum seekers are housed awaiting decision and its a real problem here.  Wait until you or someone close to you are hit by one of these people and tell me what you think then !!!!

You are generally entitled to exclude people from using your property, right up to the very edge. \n\nOccassionally there will be exceptions along public streets and roads, but if you can prevent your neighbor from walking onto your property and he can prevent you from walking on his, it would make no sense that an unrelated third party could walk down the line in between merely because you are each in separate townships.  \n\nThere is not automatically a public roadway along the line separating townships.

I myself live in TN & have seen these offenders on the I-40 doing trash pick up.  All you see is a blurry face after reading the back of their uniforms.  I think their should be more patrol, but then how much do you want the taxes to go up to fund this?  The best bet for these people are to not do it, saving their lives as well as others.

because they're insensitive pieces of human excrement.  (by the way, when i mention "you" in the following, i'm not referring to you, dear murdock, but to those jerks who think they can just go around doing whatever they want.)\n\nmy brother is in a wheelchair.  it burns my arse to see some jerk taking up a spot that's SUPPOSED TO BE LEFT OPEN FOR THOSE WHOSE LIVES ARE ALREADY MADE DIFFICULT ENOUGH BY NOT BEING ABLE TO FREAKIN' *WALK*!!!!!!!  y'think it's okay to just park there for a bit?  who'll know?  well, it's a FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR FINE where i'm from, and you KNOW that i call it in when i see it.  yeah, punk!  was that close spot worth the half-grand?  huh?  HuH?\n\nif you're not handicapped, get over it.  it's not so bad to have to walk a bit across the parking lot.  heck.. it's probably the most exercise you've had all week, you EVIL LAZY JERKWADS.
