Re: Illegal Handicapped Tags-my happy ending

Chris-

Good for you! At least some parts of the law are fair in judging.

Sounds like you were lucky to get a compasionate judge. Did you have

to pay anything when they towed your car? If so, would they reimbust

you? I sure hope so if you did pay anything.

Congrats and good luck!

Dear Jane,

Thank you for the email. Today I went to small claims

court to take SF to court for towing me ($188.). The

judge seemed fair & said that he would notify me by

mail.

The main points are that they were legally required to

notify me b/f towing & that the laws of placard use

were never communicated.

What irked me was that - according to the DMV report,

this was a sting operation and that they checked my

card because they watched me walking away from the

vehicle & did not think that I looked disabled.

Why should a meter maid or enforcement cop have the

power to make that decision?

Anyways, I am glad to fight it & very happy that the

major fine was waived.

Well wishes,

Chris

It sounds like you got a good judge. I'm glad he waived the big fine too. It

would be fair to reimburse you also for the tow as well. In a perfect

world...well you know.

Good luck,

Jane
