I guess it depends on who is telling the story, because I know two handicapped people and they aaid they would not be upset about this fact situation.
Blah, Blah, Freakin Blah would be a pretty harsh thing to tell a lady in a motorized chair.
It seems to me if a person had any respect for handicapped persons, they wouldn't even pull into a handicapped space. But, then I realize that some people are only concerned with themselves and the inconvenience of having to walk a few more feet from another parking space. They will argue they weren't "parked" to justify being in a space that was never intended for them to be able to use to begin with because it is reserved for those with a disability. In the end, I know that I have the good conscience to not pull into a handicapped space to begin with. I wish everyone did who isn't handicapped.
So now it is a cop's job to make sure everyone treats each other with respect.

“It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”
Nope... personal opinion.
Javert, not one single handicapped person was denied a spot. He did respect the handicapped. He stayed in the car, ready to move it if one of the two remaining spots filled. That is respect.
Respect was what was denied the Tech student.
Unless it's the cop having to show the respect.So now it is a cop's job to make sure everyone treats each other with respect.
Wow. I was done with this thread until those comments Dawgfan. What I did WAS NOT WRONG. I am not justifying it by saying I wasn't parked. I did what I did because Tech didn't think out this kind of situation. Instead everywhere I go that is connected to Tech Police about this I get the "well too bad you shouldn't have done it response" instead of anyone trying address the actual situation. I asked about adding a loading zone but I am told Tech can't remove regular spots with consent of enough students in the area (oh wait didn't Tech also paint an entire curb in that same parking lot red during the school year). I have tried to be civil about it but trashing me because you are getting worked up crossed the line. The point is one Tech cop saw a "punk" in a red mustang sitting in a handicapped spot and wanted to get back at him. Did he make an assumption about me because my car? I don't know. He could have just been having a bad day. But just like you did on here he let his emotions take over and wrote a flawed ticket.
It is really funny how you blast someone like me for this. How about the Tech Police officers that park in handicapped spots to come unlock UP apartments when students get locked out then? Continue to ask handicapped people what should be done but next time instead of summing it up and saying someone was waiting in a handicapped spot to load you tell the full story. You know student sitting a handicapped spot.
Go on with your appeal the ticket crap. Everyone with Tech Police I talk to says odds are it won't get overturned. And as people have said they will probably schedule my only chance of a hearing at the worst possible time. It is much easier just to pay the ticket. I was planning on just doing that until that little rant by you but now I might have to call some lawyers to come talk to them on my behalf. I bet if I show up with one they drop the ticket without even thinking.
I'm SURE that's the reason he stayed in the car...lol!
"Run upstairs real quick while I sit and wait in the car in case any handicapped persons need to park" -
Now you're a truth detector. What a joke.I'm SURE that's the reason he stayed in the car...lol!
"Run upstairs real quick while I sit and wait in the car in case any handicapped persons need to park" -
That is what he said he was doing. If he wasn't, he would have been a gentleman and hauled the stuff for his girlfriend. They guy said he didn't want to prevent a handicapped person from getting a spot. I believe him, and as an officer of the law, you had no reason to disbelieve him either.
Get back at him for what? For having a red mustang? That's pretty arrogant to suggest you are better than someone because you drive a Ford Mustang and you feel they were jealous and wrote a ticket because of it.
Contacting a lawyer over a university parking ticket? If you want to spend the money, it's your right. Threatening a lawyer doesn't change my opinion. Parking in a handicapped spot when you aren't handicapped is wrong.
Yes, but was he "parked"?

Yes. His vehicle was in a parking space, stopped and out of gear. He was parked.
Finally, you quoted a parking regulation. Would you please give me a cite so I can post a link?
Am I saying he was jealous? No. But anyone that has ever driven a sports car knows that cops watch us and hope we do something bad. Ask guiss about his encounters with his 3000GT. He sees a sports car and says "I've seen enough of people waiting here."
As far as a lawyer no I am not going to go that far but in case you can't tell there are a few on the board who are eager to get into this discussion.
