Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Donna, Yes, you can call the police. It TX, a fine of 200-250 can be given to a violator of handicapped parking. Also, the number on the mirror tag is the driver's license number of the person authorized to use the tag. A ticket can be given to the operator of the car if the handicapped person is not in the car. For example, if my wife goes to the store and parks in a handicapped space with my tag, she could be legally given a ticket if I was not present. This is a big violation that happens in Dallas. Me biggest gripe; people driving around with the tag hanging from the mirror. Read the fine print, it tells you to take the tag down. Norton Handicap parking One of the most frustrating things for me to is see is someone parking in a handicap space with no sticker or tag, especially when I've parked in Egypt. It's all I can do to keep from running my keys down the side of their car as I pass. That's my little devil talking - I would never do such a thing. Can we call the police if that happens - has anyone done that? Donna _____ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Donna: As far as our state of NH, yes the police can be called and there is a pretty stiff fine that goes along with it. I also understand, some of the states are going to put picture's on the sticker's. Probably there will be people who will forge them, to me it's a battle already lost.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 , My husband feels the same way. As soon as we get in the car he takes it off. I am always telling him to wait at least until we are totally away from the space so we don't get any of those looks.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Donna, Yes, I have. Twice. Once at a motel where were staying and once at a local store. The police came to the motel and searched the car with a flashlight to see if there might be a placard in there. He then called in the plate number. About 15 minutes later, he came to our door and told me that it was someone who was handicapped who had forgotten to put up his sign. He came down and put it up. The policeman was very nice and told me that it is a frequent complaint they get and they give out $250 fines if the person is not handicapped. The other time, at the store, I was told there was nothing they could do because it was a public parking lot. I called the police myself, but the person had left by the time they got there. Now, I just stare at the people, trying to make them feel embarrassed. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have noticed that most of the handicapped places are taken whenever we go somewhere. There must be an epidemic in this country of various handicaps that allow people to get those placards and plates. Some places, like WalMart and other big stores, need more of them. Some malls could use more, also. I did notice that the number of newly handicapped people increased at the State Hospital where I work when the parking was changed due to a new building being built where the old parking lot was. There are 8 spots near the building where I work and they are always full during the day. One of them was filled by our Union President, who is NOT handicapped, but is using his wife's placard. When the Administration sent out a memo that someone would be coming around and checking all the placard numbers and employee parking numbers to see if they were listed in the Human Resources Office as handicapped, he started parking elsewhere. Surprisingly, so did many of the others. Makes me wonder. They are still full, especially when I come to work at noon on Thursdays. I am able to park along the curb near the building if I put up my placard, thanks to an understanding Security manager.
