Thanks, I hate it

By Anonymous - 05/08/2009 02:34 - United States

Today, I received a $250 ticket when I parked my car, that has the disabled placard, in a handicapped spot at a Wal-Mart. The officer said she watched me get out of the car and walk to store without appearing to be disabled. I'm 59 years old, have a steel rod in my spine and a prosthetic hip. FML

Who is it for her to decide if you're disabled or not? Wow. I hate people like that. Of course not all handicaps are always going to be noticeable.

I'm pretty sure you can definately appeal against that. People with mental disabilities can get the cards and you cannot physically look at them to see if they're disabled.

You're naive for thinking that 59 is old. My grandma is 65, is in a wheelchair and has a MySpace. So stop sounding like a child.

If you can walk around Wal-Mart, you can walk in the parking lot.

over 1000 people think the handicapped OP with a valid parking permit deserved the ticket?!?!?

Fight it in court.

At least that should be easy to beat in court (if it gets that far). And the cop will need to grovel and apologize.

Ok people, im permanently bound to a wheelchair because im a paraplegic. If you can walk, you dont need the ******* handicap parking spot. We dont use those spots because we want to be closer to the store, we use them so we can ******* get our wheelchairs out of our cars. There isnt enough room in a regular parking spot to unload a chair. Not to mention people who are quads who dont have the mobility/strength to assemble and disassemble their chair, and have to use a ramp van which ONLY work in handicap spots. In short: Get your ******* fat lazy ass out of my goddamn parking spot

You can't just get a person to help you and park in the back? You'd have plenty of room, and they could push you. -_-

Some people use them because they NEED to be closer and CAN'T walk very far. Disabilities come in many forms and it is not your right to decide who's is most legitimate.
