It's called being a public nuisance and obstructing traffic.  you can be ticketed and if you refuse to disburse you can be confined

Please explain what sort of work permit it is that you are looking for.  The only "permit" for a handicapped person that I can think of offhand is a parking permit that allows them to park in special restricted parking spaces,and at parking meters without charge.

Littering is a misdemeanor...but they usually don't pull you over for it...unless it's quota time\n\nAnd why do you have to appear in court if you didn't get a ticket....sounds more like a verbal warning\n\n\nA summons huh?...that's a little odd usually they give you a ticket if you have to appear in court.\n\noh and btw I think it's more of a gross abuse of power ,just to get there quota for the month

It is not always illegal.  Some cities have passed a city ordinance making it illegal, although these ordinances are usually lightly enforced, or carry a very small fine.\n\nIn those cities that it is, usually the rationale given is that parking meters, aside from serving as a revenue source for the city, also promote the turnover of parking spaces (i.e. they keep people from parking there all day), especially in shopping district.  They do this by only allowing you to "feed" the meter a certain amount at a time (usually 1-2 hours).  This incovenience is often accompanied by a regulatory sign that prohibits parking in excess of a certain amount of time (regardless of the amount of money inserted).  The inconvenience of having to constantly babysit a meter will often force people to park in a non-metered space or garage.  \n\nFeeding other people's meters serves to defeat the goal of turning over spaces so that other people can use them.  It also makes the enforcement of regulatory signs more difficult (since the maximum parking time is usually tied to the maximum amount of money one can insert in a meter without making a second trip).

They comply with the legal amount of handicap spaces. It someone has a handicap sticker then they can park there. Not everyone needs handicap parking at the special Olympics.

its legal to install nos in your car just not to use it on the street, but it's legal to use it at the drag strip etc..

Why do people drive on a parkway and park on a driveway? Why do you say you're taking a pee when you're leaving something? It's just vernacular.

This is called a cul de sac or court and yes, you can park there, unless there are city ordinances or a clause in your deed or homeowners' association agreement (if you have one) that prohibits it.\n\nIt's just like parking on the street.  You can't block the flow of traffic, though.

i HATE those auto flush toilets. has society gotten so lazy and germaphobic that they cant use a tissue to flush? \ni can kind of understand it in the handicapped stall, because someone who is disabled may have difficulty flushing\nbut you just gave me another reason to hate the dang things...cameras in there? (shudders at the thought)

Jerofjungle and Bradschuman, hold on for a second, I believe you to be in error on this one.\n\n     In the State of N.J. it is PERFECTLY LEGAL for a person with \nHANDICAP plates to park at a meter for free.  I just found this out when I was with my Dad, who has 2 prosthetic knees. He parked his car at a meter and I was about to dump a load of change in. He told me not to. I then inquired about it and found that it is true throughout the entire State that Handicapped persons with properly marked plates or placards can park free at any meter.\n\nMy advice to you is to check your state statutes and see if the same holds true. I'm sure it does.

I have the same problem. I will try like heck not to use a public bathroom. Now sometimes when I got to go, huh...I got to go. It's funny cause I will not sit my butt on the toilet what so ever. I will go to the handicap stall and hold on to the rails. My butt never touches the toilet seat. Who knows whats been on that seat.

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!

Does that corporation have a handicapped parking available in the employee's parking section?  If not, you have a legitimate complaint.  A corporation is responsible for accomodating handicapped employees and visitors to their site.  Check out your state's Penal Code.  There are rules and regulations to help disabled workers.  Do they have handicap ramps for wheelchairs, and other accessible areas?  If they have one problem, then they will have several.  It wouldn't hurt to investigate further.  Others will be grateful in the future.

Some people cannot park, nor drive.  You would think parking in a straight line in a parking lot, would be easy. Most of the people either cannot see, in a hurry and do not care, or just lazy drivers, selfish and stupid.
