Do you Say anything - Handicap Parking Spots

[AngieB]

I took a pic of this DB that parked in a handicap spot - called police but they didn't get there before he left.

10 lbs?  I think Carlton was talking about the people in Walmart/Sam's chasing each other in the store owned hov-a-rounds or whatever they're called.

I'm just saying that a fat person in a scooter is not necessarily in a scooter because they are fat. While many people may be disabled because of excessive weight, I am emphasizing that inactivity (whether due to laziness or due to age/disability/injury) almost always causes weight gain. Given that I don't know everybody's life story (just my grandmother's), I am more forgiving of those in electric scooters and give the benefit-of-the-doubt.

I bet they don't use their turn signals either, and use the world for their ashtray.  Glad to know I'm not the only one with those pet peeves.  I passed a truck on 75 this morning that looked like a pinball.  All over the damn place and not using turn signals.  You guessed it- texting.  I'd almost rather be driving next to a drunk than someone with their nose buried in a cell phone.

And as you know, Conan, I also take pics of people who pitch their cigarettes out the window! I swear I'm gonna start a blog or something...DB of the Day...

I'd be a willing contributor!

In Owasso I have called the local police and watched them write $150.00 tickets.

Some people are fat because they handicapped. While my grandmother was never skinny, she eventually became scooter-bound due to age and degerneration of joints. With the loss of what little exercise she used to get from walking, she gained quite a lot of weight. She's managing her weight through diet, but she is still a larger woman.

Additionally, when my ankle sprained badly, I pretty much had to give up running for a year. During that time, I easily put on 10 pounds.

Given that, I have a little more sympathy for the overweight/disabled than you do.

Yep, I understand and appreciate the difference between disabled and overweight versus disabled because of being overweight.


I also appreciate a bad ankle sprain, that happened to me in December and it took until April before the pain of running subsided. I still get an occasional ache somedays and 8 months have gone by.

Count me in too!  Oh, the joys of geo-tagging.

Why not just look up the license tag and send them a nice letter with the picture?

I don't think individuals can access the tag database, can they?

Not supposed to be able to. . .but, if they have had a citation in that vehicle before, you can dump OSCN data and run a query.  Under the cit_inf table, field 15 (vehicle_tag) is the license plate #.

Nice, just like home address and height/weight info if they've had a citation before.  Good work Gaspar

Cool. You sure can learn a lot from this internet thingy.
