On the same token, how can my buddy be ticketted in a private parking lot. The parking lot is property of the mall owners. PRIVATE!

That's just what I was thinking. How can they have the authority to give a parking ticket on a private parking lot, but not have the authority to give a ticket to somebody violating the driving law on a private parking lot.

I just sent the following email to all the city commissioners. Feel free to copy and paste it to your own emails to them or add to it or delete things from it for that matter.

I was relayed the following message and it irritates me that the municipal judge can be so demeaning to a physically challenged person. Is there anything that you can do to get this matter dropped? Does the judge understand that this man is no longer working and paying a fine and court costs is a great hardship on top of everything else that he is going through?

A friend of mine recently was in an accident in which he became paralyzed from the waist down. He is a father, husband and was main provider for the home. He goes to therapy at the mall on a hot windy day. His wife parks car in handicapped parking space and takes him into the mall for his session. When they return, they have been cited for parking in a handicapped parking zone without proper authority. During his session, the wind blew the handicap tag off of their mirror. Yet, it was in plain view on the seat.

My friend goes to speak with judge, and judge says, "just pay it. No, I will not drop it."

Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

The email addresses of the city commissioners are:

I'm in for $20 - that whole thing just sucks! They did the same thing to my sis at the mall. They ticketed her at the mall in an old handicapp space that was no longer a handicap space. She actually got a ticket for bein in the space WITH a sticker. The officer said - there were handicap spaces available and she shoulda been in one......... what a trip!! They threw that out but it probably added 10 yrs to my sis just out of frustration! Not everyone is fair and just...... that's why there are cops to begin with. It is downright wrong when an officer does this kinda stuff. There are all kinds - just be greatfull the whole force isn't like that and overall that's not how cops are.

The accident thing is even worse when it comes to situations. Hell I'd be callin CPS, police chief, and small claims court! They may very well only be limited to making reports for accidents - it seems they can not say who is at fault in a parking lot but the obvious violations don't seem to be excused by that same thinkin. No car seat is no car seat - 14 is 14 - don't matter where it is..... perhaps it's cuase the officer didn't actually see it and by the time they got there both parents were on the scene - so it became a he said - she said. Cops don't like to get in that mess and we shouldn't expect them to. That's what no fault is..........they are for enforcing the law when they see or witness someone breaking the law. They are not there to take sides - one way orthe other. Sad story tho - just kinda ticks ya off!

[TexKan]

I think of several tickets: 1. No Driver's License 2. Improper backing 3. No child restraint 4. Endangerment of a child (both to the 14 year old and the 3 year old) 5. Driving restrictions (even if the girl had a license, she is not allowed to drive without a licensed driver until she is 16, and the mother let the officer assume that the child was driving, but the parent was in the vehicle). 6. Child neglect (on the parent who sent her daughter to the store).

I am told by the police that it is correct that they can not ticket the girl.



I don't know yet if the other parties had insurance. I have not yet received the report.

It seems to me that the officer on the scene had the responsibility to ticket the child driver for no license (or driving without supervision), unrestrained child, and possibly no insurance. These are ticketable offenses whenever an officer reveals this.

OK, right….. We have a BroncoFan and a Bronco-Fan. Not the same person. I’m not seeing things. I'm OK, really I am.

(I think a stiff drink is in order.)
