Illegal Handicap Parking TOUGH GUY has INSANE Reaction to Ticket

[@tamaryth400]

My father lived to be 83 years old. He was a disabled veteran, sustaining a leg injury that caused a limp for 60 years and gave him terrible arthritis in his hips as he aged. He was 100% disabled, and had a triple bypass when he was in his late 50s. Not ONCE did he ever use a handicapped spot in his entire life, even though he deserved to use them. He said to leave them for the people who really needed them. To see obviously able bodied people use them is maddening.

[@angrydriversattack]

GOOD FOR HIM. Shows you the laziness of these people if he could do it, they can

[@user-rz2ht9pv3n]

My wife and I are both disabled Vets but when I'm out alone I sometimes do that too.

[@blueburytreasurelaurabrown8482]

My father had two heart attacks by the rime he was 45. He was a successful man with 7 children. He passed away at 68 from congestive heart failure. He was always very active, playing golf and racquet ball. He had a pacemaker and also was fighting bladder cancer when he passed away. His doctor offered him a handicap tag but my dad refused! He had to much pride, he didn’t want to take a space that someone else may need. There isn’t any pride anymore, pride in doing the right thing, it’s sad.

[@larryjanson4011]

decads back i was hurt see above posting. but these days ii transport my mom around yes i use her parking permit. not for me but for her. my mom needs a walker. she stumbles and falls a lot. i fluter all over her to keep her safe.

[@ZooZoo293]

First, dont assume people do not need handicapped placards because "they look fine". You don't know why they need a placard. Second, while in California the minimum fine for a handicapped parking violation is $275, after court fees it can be upwards of $500+. Think twice before parking in the white hashed area between two handicapped spots. Some fools think it's for motorcycles - it's not. It's to allow people with wheelchairs, walkers, etc., enough room to safely exit their cars with their mobility aids. Parking in this spot will get you TWO tickets because you are blocking two handicapped spaces and will get double the fines.

[@DFWAI]

I say don't allow them to move it. Ticket, boot and tow the car. Impound it for a month. If a ticket doesn't matter to them, maybe losing the car daddy bought will get the point across.

[@nancybeamesderfer1995]

[@louloufrechette]

Fantastic idea! And if they do it again, double all the amount (money, time at impound) and start adding prison time. People would start to think twice before using these parkings place.

[@peterroach7666]

ticket , tow, impound yes, not boot as that means they're blocking the spot for longer

[@christine1373]

An important factor to remember is that being disabled isn’t just about being in a wheelchair or relying on an assist device. 6 years ago I had congestive heart failure and couldn’t walk from my car to my work building or to the grocery store from the parking lot without passing out so I had a handicap placard that I used until my heart transplant. Outwardly I looked fine but I was very weak and would become breathless just from walking 10 feet and I moved very slowly, so please don’t judge based on that alone.

[@brmam1385]

My ex, who was an a**hole in so many ways, nevertheless had a Vietnam war wound from GSW. HE’s a big, healthy looking guy, but eventually had an AK (Above Knee) amputation due to that injury. Walking from a regular parking spot usually ended up with a knee swollen like a cantaloupe & significant pain.

[@BBBYpsi]

I have a handicapped plate for my car & placard for my truck. I had major surgery in late 2021 & they thought I would never be able to walk great again. I am walking better than I have since 2007. I do have sometimes when my legs give out on me. I try to park fairly close but rarely use a handicapped spot. Depends if I am having a bit of a struggle. But have gotten in arguments with many youngsters that really do not care & tell me to mind my own business & also been called a racist many times because I confronted them.

[@dawg55b]

Agree

[@timberwolfdtproductions3890]

Too many people try to judge other people’s abilities/disabilities. If a doctor says you need a tag, you need it. No one else’s business.

[@0verload]

First offense maybe $300.00 to $500.00 fine, Second offense $1000,00 Third offense $5000,00, vehicle impounded for 14 days and license suspended for 14 days, 4th offense $10,000, vehicle impounded for 30 days and license suspension for 3 - 6 months. That's my opinion on it. These unempathetic pricks see no big deal with the fact that they inconvenienced and or made the life of someone who's not able bodied much more difficult, total narcissists.

[@larryjanson4011]

decades back i had a legal disability yes i had the blue thing for over two years. . i tried to not use it if another spot was “reasonable close”. i was 21 my leg was crushed, but think god it grew back together. but on crutches for over a year, leg cast for over a year. then a metal leg brace for another year. i would “walk” a bit farther when possible. as others were for more in need than i was. .

The one guy saying that he sees people getting out of the vehicle with nothing wrong with them is likely not realizing people have hidden disabilities - heart issues , arthritis , lung issues etc.

I would never question the nature of someone's disability but I was sorely tested on the weekend when a couple clearly on their way to tennis occupied the disabled space out the front of the cafe.

[@fredhi2912]

I have handicap plates and placard. My issue is a pinch nerve in my lower spine, which effects my walking/standing. So walking my leg(s) get weak, be in pain and I would have a hard time walking then. In Florida, the handicap placard has the drivers license number of the person it was assigned to. I've seen in another state they have to picture of the person on the placard. That would be great if every state did this. When ever I see a person parked in a handicap spot and no handicap placard or license plate I usually call the police. This video is spot on, I see people doing this all the time.

[@tumadre50]

Thank you. I came here to mention the same thing. My ex-wife is legally blind and many people don't realize she has any issues. We even had someone question us once if we knew it was a handicapped spot when we parked and we were walking into a restaurant. I pointed at the placard and said yup and we kept walking. Nobody needs to know your disability. It's none of their damn business. If you have the placard that's all that matters.

I had a car towed at the airport once. Parked in a passenger drop off but made the mistake of going inside to help my elderly parents get checked in. Came out 5 minutes later and my car was gone. Perhaps towing companies should hang out at these stores and swoop in like they do at airports.

[@kathymolloy5411]

One time i went to a store with only one handicap spot and it was taken by someone with no placard. I pulled up right behind him (I'm handicapped and was using a walker) and made him wait until i came back out before he could leave. He was super apologetic when he saw me. 😅

[@pearlsswine]

[@rncine]

I just want to elaborate what that elderly handicap person said about seeing people using the parking spots and not looking handicapped. Not all patients that have the placards look sick or disabled. As a cardiovascular nurse I have patients that look great but their hearts are failing them, they need to park as close as they can to obtain their meds and groceries. They don’t want to sit in the car just be able to act as normal as possible. I have a young girl in her 20’s that had been in a wheelchair for 7 yrs due to Lyme Disease that was now able to walk and looks great but gets easily tired. The saying goes, you can’t tell a book by its cover!

[@pearlsswine]

You are literally cancer and a virus. You are the reason why we are experiencing societal decay. Your "don't ever judge anyone ever even when you see them doing something morally repugnant" is the reason why people do this. Of course you're a nurse. There is a reason why your job is so heavily advertised during Jerry Springer reruns.

[@scarletbegonias2359]

I'm handicapped and this is a real pet peeve of mine. The abuse is rampant with many people using dead relative's placards. That's why they expire every two years now, unless you've got the license plate decal. If you get caught using the placard illegally it can cost upwards of $1,800 in The Bay Area.

[@angrydriversattack]

[@janiceberebitsky6211]

[@fredhi2912]

In San Diego, CA. I went to the car because the person laid the placard on the dash. Sure enough the it had an expired placard. So I called the cops and the car got a ticket.

[@tomhammer1784]

I am not legally handicap, but do have heart issues, arthritis, and stability issue, but never use handicap spots. I can walk a few feet more….it just takes a little longer

[@bluecordprecisiongrading2504]

I'm a disabled combat veteran and I see this all the time. Unless you have officers constantly keeping an eye on these spots, there's little that can be done about it. I actually have a Disabled Veteran license plate but the DMV will only issue tags for one car for the veteran. In addition I am issued placards and those are in my wife's car that I can also use to place in other vehicles that I'm riding in. Most people don't realize that those of us with handicap parking privileges also receive an ID card for the handicap and the police can check for this ID to ensure that you're not using a placard that was not issued to you

[@user-co7fb6qe5w]

I think appointing a self serving staff and/or tow service would generate enough revenue to sustain it. Option B is having a close eye or camera monitoring to alert tow on a moments notice. I am serious. These inexcusable and selfish people must learn THIS IS NO SMALL MATTER. Until someone experiences the pain of the victim or the pain in their wallet and convenience things won't change. If someone gets nailed with an expensive fine plus tow and inconvenience, things will change!

[@smal1393]

I am legally handicapped. On a recent visit to a medical building, 20 of the 24 handicapped parking spots were occupied by vehicles without permits. Included in those vehicles without permits were police vehicles. I don't expect the police to enforce laws, that they themselves, disregard. ☹

[@crosslink1493]

The first guy I think is a drug dealer. if the law said they had more than one conviction for parking in a handicap illegally, their vehicle mandatory must be towed it would put a huge dent in the problem and there has to be an inventory made of the vehicle so now there’s a chance to find some drugs. With the guy like this it’s the culture.

[@BPlank64]

One man in the video said a lot of the people parking in handicap spaces don’t have anything wrong with them. My husband has a handicap plate on his car, and a hangtag for when he is in my car. He gets a lot of dirty looks from people, when he parks in a handicap space. His injury and medical condition isn’t visibly obvious, but is real nonetheless. Just by looking at what someone looks like, or how they walk, you can’t tell whether or not they have a medical condition, which necessitates them to have to use handicap parking spaces. I agree there are a lot of people who misuse the handicap spaces. My point is you can’t just tell by looking at someone to know whether or not they are legitimately handicap.

[@arthurspearman7914]

Many years ago, a friend and co-worker who was wheel chair bound had a way to deal with this issue. He had the old nail in a stick that many people used to pick up trash...when he saw someone that was parked illegally in a handicapped spot...he would "accidentally" stick two of it their tires...then have an employee call the police to have the vehicle towed. It was amazing to watch these a-holes freak out that not only were their cars being towed away but also that they were getting a ticket and would have to buy need tires.

[@e-curb]

So was your friend a certified doctor, able to accurately judge if a person was truely disabled? There are many people who are disabled but you can't tell by looking at them. I had one friend who was in his late 20s and had bad knees. He couldn't walk very far without extreme pain. Artificial knees only last 20-25 years, so that wasn't an option. He had the proper tag in his car and he said he was constantly glared at every time he parked in the crips spot.

[@dirtysouth865]

I’m in a wheelchair for the past 30 years. Since age 19, if they don’t have a tag or placard their tires are getting stuck at least twice.

[@e-curb]

@@dirtysouth865 What if they did have a tag but just left it on the dash where a WALKING parking enforcement person could clearly see it, but you can't being down low? Since it is illegal where I live to drive with the tag hanging on the mirror, I'd put mine on the dash if I was disabled. You're going to feel pretty stupid if you did that and the owner came out to his car in a wheelchair.

There's not always a visual handicap so that guy who said people get out if their vehicles and there's nothing wrong with them he's wrong in his thinking. As to the idiots using handicap parking spots who are not disabled, 1000% agree with everyone who says to boot and impound those vehicles. They just need to make sure the fee to get the vehicle back is way more than the fine or they still won't care and continue to break the law.

I know exactly where you're coming from. I have multiple orthopedic issues. Two platinum knees. Stainless steel in my ankle & shoulder. The other ankle was operated on but no hardware. When first exiting a car I don't move to bad. After walking around for awhile things start to hurt. I was on a job once where we all parked & got on a bus taking us down to the job. There was only one handicap parking spot. I noticed it never got used & talked to the office about it. My concern was, there's only one & someone may need it more than me. They told me to go ahead & use it, so I did. One day another worker confronted me about it saying I don't look handicapped. Others in the office knowing how I walk by the end of the day were outraged.

But here where I live being Disabled or having a Disability is a big deal and I've seen the abuse.

During my drivers training in high school I was practicing on the road with my teacher/instructor and he had us go to a gas station. As we pulled in he said he was going inside to get a drink then pointed to a spot and said "park there". I pulled into the spot he pointed to and put the car in park. I waited for him to get out but after about a minute he looked at me and asked why I parked in this spot. I looked at him completely confused. I asked, "what do you mean?" He pointed out of the front window and hanging on the wall was a handicap sign. "You can't park here it's a space for disabled people." I already knew we couldn't park in a handicap spot, but I then realized he did that to make sure I understood that I needed to pay attention to where I park and told me that would be a 100 dollar citation (at the time).

They came back out before the truck arrived, and were freaking-out when I told them it was on the way. They begged me to move my car to let them leave, to which I obliged. Of course, they cranked and cranked until the battery died. It was only after they were on the hook that I calmly handed the rotor back to the driver. Yeah, I was a dick.

I'm a 100% Disabled Vietnam Veteran ... it happens all the time here in Australia too ... Saying that I fell with my VA issued walker in the parking garage and at least 5-6 kind people helped me up and helped with my groceries ... there still some kind people.

My late wife had a handicap license plate on her minivan. When she died I went to DMV to have the ownership of the vehicle transferred to me. At the same time I turned in the plate for a standard license plate. That way I wouldn't even be tempted to abuse the privilege. I see frequently stories of persons who habitually use handicap parking unlawfully and complain when they can't find a handicap parking spot to steal. Authorities should stop fining people for this and just have the vehicle towed instead. The fine is never as expensive as a tow fee and storage charge.

[@normanreed814]

My wife has a disabled permit. I can't use it unless she's in the car, and I'm the one who looks like he needs it when we get out of the car. Well I hope that Mr. GQ gets whats coming to him, maybe if some day he or a family member needs disabled parking and someone has his douche bag attitude and uses the space. Here in Washington State I know that the the fine is $400+. Hey Cali, try upping the fine!

[@JesgateOnDown]

Just because someone gets out of their car & walks into the store doesn't mean they're not disabled. So many ignorant people don't understand the qualifications to get a disability placard, and many people have disabilities that fluctuate from day to day- where they can walk some days & other days they can't (it doesn't mean they can walk extended distances). Not saying lots of people who shouldn't park in the disabled spots don't - what Im pointing out is that people who are actually disabled people with placards get harassed for parking in those spots because too many people are uneducated about disabilities & think their allowed to harass people.

[@keithfreitas2983]

Just because you can get out of a car without a wheelchair or cane/ crutches does not mean you are not diabled. You could have a breathing, back/spine, walking, brain injury, heart condition, kidney, have prothetic problem. That's why you have the handicap placard

[@michaellyczak9337]

As a senior citizen with a handicap, I've developed a bad habit of parking right next to cars with no placard or plates in handicapped spaces, but being very thoughtful and leaving them a whopping four to six inch gap between their driver's side door and my passenger's side door.

[@tobycanales1062]

he is so rich shopping at wal-mart hahah

[@angrydriversattack]

Sometimes walmart is the only place that has certain. things reasonably close. its a necessary evil

[@TheLionsDen72]

This is nothing. I live just 3 miles from this area and I am handycap. I have had to go to the DMV here and they do this at all locations there as well. I have FND, Functional Neurological Disorder, and cant walk far. I am what is referred to as a ambulatory wheelchair user. My condition changes throughout the day. Yet I get trapped having to park way out in the south 40 because as I have had one person say... "My Escalade is worth more than you." Its sad that people are like this. Make people like me feel trapped at home.

[@keithbuckenmeyer8659]

Maybe they should raise the minimum fine to $1,500. Not many are going to risk paying that for a parking spot.

[@snidelywhiplash1888]

And an impound for 7 days, minimum.

[@Scott-uj2bi]

I had a couple park in the hatch line. The girl told me that her dad is a country sheriff it's ok. I said if he takes care of your ticket that's Corruption and he should be fired. The guy told me to mind my own business. And i said I am. Thank you.

[@FrankCarroll_Nevada]

Oh, those 'special kids', and all because mom or dad taught them because they are a 'sheriff', state senator', etc, etc, they can do what they want. wait till mom or dad have to bail you out of jail, 'Karen' or 'Kevin'!

[@zinacheers8126]

I see this all the time here in Tampa. They hop in and out with no problems at all. I see people worse of then me have to park half way cross the parking lot because these people be parking illegally using someone else parking plaque.

my dad used to park so they couldnt get out ( my dad got hit with sulphuric napalm ate his hips right up) but when they come out and see a 6'1 330 pound man you know you got a problen@@angrydriversattack

[@jadziadax5365]

Parking in the spots for Disabled and Handicap people is reprehensible and the first Offense should be 1000.00 dollars, second Offense 2500.00 dollars with a One Year Suspension and the car gets Towed. Third Offense 5000.00 dollars and a five year Suspension of Driving privileges and the car is towed again.

[@roycullum2722]

Automatically tow all the cars Automatically.

[@snakemanmike]

As a disabled vet, I see this crap all the time. I am 100% service connected, having been severely wounded in a mortar attack in Iraq. It hurts tremendously to walk very far. They don't care about that. They don't care about anyone but themselves. I wish that they would seize the vehicles and sell them at auction after a second offense. Also suspend their license. That would get their attention.

[@Agiantpansy]

This is why legal fines really ought to be based on a persons income in the same way that taxes are. An $80 fine only disincentives someone who would be considered lower income, but someone like that rich asshole couldn't care less, he could rack up a dozen $80 fines like that in a day and not even notice. If you make over a certain amount of money, $100-150K (idk, i'm not sure what qualifies as "rich" in that area) the fine should increase to $800, or even more if you are a higher income bracket.

[@angrydriversattack]

In some countries it is.. i saw a speeding fine in sweeden i think for like $100,000

[@catherinefrohwerk4325]

I live in CANADA, I have had 19 knee surgeries have extreme trouble walking, winter is the worst. At one grocery store there was an RCMP officer parked in the handicapped spot, talking on his phone. I knocked on the window and said you are parked in a handicapped ♿️ spot, my husband had to park behind you,help me out ofthe vehicle and then go park elsewhere. (He moved his RCMP cruiser.)

[@t.y.5565]

Looks like that entitled driver has to compensate for something! 🤔

[@angrydriversattack]

Could be lol

[@JUKE179r]

In the Atlanta metro area I had different instances happen when, due certain health related flare ups, I would have to park in a handicap spot and had my placard displayed from my doctor and I had a VA disability rating. Older handicap placard recipients would argue telling me I had a fake placard and that I was too young (48yo) to use the parking spots though my pains and ailments said otherwise. Cheers from a Yank the UK! 🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@dougberdan3906]

Only way they will learn is If they one day have a real need for one and can't find any because a person like themselves has parked illegally

[@barbaragorman6544]

I bet most of them still wouldn't change. Selfish people are not generally introspective.

[@timingenkamp3973]

Increase the fines, or do as they did in one EU country. Base the fine on your net worth. In the article I had read, a 20 over speeding violation ended up costing an electronics company's CEO $160,000 US dollars because they felt an $80.00 fine would have meant nothing to him. Alternatively, put their car in jail. Impound the car for 2 days for a first offense, second offense might mean 2 weeks (with all the daily fees as well)

[@marcsanty5434]

a car like that for me drugs dealer

[@angrydriversattack]

Maybe, maybe not, but still

[@1960fusion]

I have been in a wheelchair for 40 years and i see the abuse almost everyday. I hate it when the person that needs the placard stays in the car and the abled body person goes to the store as if that makes it ok. Thanks for posting ...OBTW, those rims look ridiculous!!!

[@dawncarson2279]

My stepfather used to make me so upset. My mom was extremely disabled. She had a handicapped plaque, and he was perfectly healthy but always used her car and parked right up front everywhere he went! Oh it made me so mad. But even worse, my mom with stage 4 lung cancer, oxygen machine, back and neck surgery could never find a spot. She never complained and walked a mile joking that at least in the distance no one would ding her car. 🤬

[@leglessinoz]

There needs to be a demerit point issued as well as that fine doubled. Where I live, the fine is over $600 and the maximum court imposable fine is about $2000. One state here it's about $600 plus 1 demerit point.

[@jessemalenkesr5760]

Had a lady tell me I didn't look handicapped when I got out of my car. Asked her what a handicapped person looks like? That shut her up.

[@angrydriversattack]

BOOM.. get em

[@FrancesNobles]

You do not have to appear disabled to be disabled. When I get out of my car, I walk pretty good. But, after 1/2 an hour at Walmart, I am nearly crippled. What's that his concern? If a cop asks to see MY placard, I will show it to him bc it's mine and legally issued. So, the guy in the truck does not know what he is talking about.

[@watchcity2068]

As an ADA monitor (with the authority to issue a warning ticket) having worked in the disability field since 1986 I think that folks should be fined, cuffed, car towed and spend one week in jail no matter who they are or how old they are. Elderly folks are notorious for parking on the white lines, blocking the HP ramp off of the sidewalk. I was verbally assaulted by someone who parked in front of, blocking access to an HP spot at the back door to my building 2 days ago. It was all captured on security camera footage and I am filing a police report and pressing charges. People are lazy and feel entitled to park anywhere they want. Stop harassing people with permits who have "hidden" disabilities, heart trouble, asthma, a prosthetic leg, cancer, etc etc etc., too.

[@ronaldsiewert4445]

Impounding the car is something they would understand. A big beefy guy with a tow truck. In some states that's what they do.

[@kenlompart9905]

We used to frequent a bar/restaurant near work, there was a couple that came in often and would just order coffee and drink it all night since refills were free. This same couple parked in the handicap spot, there was only two spots, and of course they were young and able bodied. A guy in a wheelchair who also frequented the place showed up the same night and when he saw their car in the handicap spot he parked his van behind them and even though they wanted to leave he made them wait till he was ready to go.

First ticket a fine, second one vehicle gets impounded ! This ignorance pisses me off for all the disabled people!

[@aywitb911]

Flat tires are a great deterrent.

[@WizzardofOdds]

Even though the one handicapped guy had a point about seeing people parking and just walking away. Not all handicaps are visible and there are different standards of disability in different areas. You can still walk and be handicapped, you may not be able to walk far but far enough for a scooter that some stores provide. There is no excuse however for these type of people who use them for convenience or that think the signs don't apply to them. It should come with demerits where it affects your license or insurance rate.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

I had a knee replaced and got a 6 month handicap permit. It was odd because before I had the permit I always saw empty handicap spots. When I had the permit they were all full. Maybe that's because I was going to stores during the day as I was off work for 6 weeks.

[@geraldodamaso8876]

In Toronto first offense is 500 canadian and goes up from there.

[@Ragnar009]

I wouldn't do it now, but back in the late 80s I'd park in a handicap spot because it was only a 20 dollar ticket. At Christmas time at malls it was well worth it.

[@johnwoods647]

Long ago I was working security for Target and one day I was called to the front of the store where I found a customer in a wheelchair and the asst mgr. The customer stated that he was going to park in a handicapped spot and a guy in a white pickup flew into the spot in front of him and when told that the other customer needed the spot he laughed. I went outside and found a white pickup with out of state tags. Not much I could do but I looked around and saw a State Trooper further out in his squad. I told the trooper what was going on and he drove over to the pickup and ran the tags. He looked up with a grin and told myself and the customer to stick around. When the douche bag came out he was arrested for prior warrants and the vehicle towed, along with the $250.00 ticket for the handicapped parking violation. That was a good day!

[@mask8961]

Agree, there are A LOT of "Entitled attitude" people, who actually believe their above everyone else and law enforcement can't hold them accountable!! I have been confined to the use of a wheelchair, for mobility, since 2018. I usually wait in the car while my family member runs inside the store(s). You would be surprised at the things I witness, from all ages/ethnicity. SHAMEFUL behavior. Speaking of Walmart: people inappropriately parking in the assigned "pick up groceries" spots. Why? Your going inside and these spots are not close to the entrance. My idea/solution: My opinion, there should be tire spikes, from underneath the parking spot. They stay up until the driver arrives (preventing non authorized people from parking), then when you enter the parking spot number the spikes go down. Finally when you leave the spot, the spikes automatically go back up from a hidden sensor. I believe some flat tires, expensive replacements, and/or towing costs (that could be higher than a "fine"), might make People rethink before parking inappropriately!? Wal-Mart can then post clearly written visible "warning signs". So frustrating. 😵

[@CS-pi5oc]

I didn’t use but need handicapped parking for yrs, but it’s my turn now. I don’t look disabled and I visit my gym. I need to keep mobility. After the gym, I am done for the day and half the next. Diabetes, need of knee replacement, CFIDS, osteoarthritis, asthma, kidney stones…to name a few issues.
