Go get 'em. I am disabled and need to be able to park close. Sometimes I can't and I don't get stuff I need. I usually leave early because sometimes I have park far away and I am slow to move.
have y’all ever applied for one ? she gave very real issues that many disabled folks report for not havin one. i’m disabled, use the placard, and i cannot fathom why y’all are so vicious to these people when u clearly do not care abt the real challenges us disabled folkd face- y’all just love callin the pigs
@@joseochoa7043 riiiiight cause infamously those are quick trips. shes got like, 3 kids dog, she probably has to work, take care of em, take em to the doctors- took me such a long time to get mine cause of all the stuff i had to sort out before even beginning the process.
@@joseochoa7043 yeah and u represent every disabled person out there. she had all those kids and got that big ass fine, for what ? walmart has tons of disability parking, and ik my parents parked at disability spots when i was losing my vision but didn’t have the placard yet. it’s not that simple and i don’t take any joy in pigs handing out tickets when they disproportionately affect disabled people more violently
Do not attempt abusing a disabled placard in San Francisco. Parking Enforcement will issue two citations. One for the violation and the other for the posted Blue Zone. Each for $875. But, if the placard is reported lost/ stolen or altered the vehicle will be towed. Add another $450. Grand total of....WAIT FOR IT....$2,200.00. 😳
The State also needs to put each medical professional's license at risk if they give a medical statement granting someone access to a handicap parking placard who truly does not need one. Then maybe one out of ten drivers would not have one.
While I bet there’s a few bad apples out there. Nowadays most doctors won’t just hand them out. Here in NM, my placard has my DL photo on the back. I know a few others state also adopted this idea. I think it would help the abuse
I wish I could tell on this two young ladies I believe they are sisters, that park in the handicap area in my apartment building. It makes me mad because they feel entitled to park there, when there are over 100 available spaces still available but they don't want to walk a little bit.
I live in Detroit and the abuse here is probably some of the worst in the nation, but then we have crummy weather 9 months of the year. Living in SoCal there is absolutely no excuse other than laziness.
I've had a handicapped placard for years. The application was signed by my heart surgeon. It's entirely legal and legitimate in every way. I hope that because my disability isn't plainly obvious (no limp,crutches,wheelchair,etc) I won't be accused of any kind of fraud. It hasn't happened yet...but it does cross my mind.
@@jackfitzpatrick8173 I already have. If you are lucky enough to survive, they REPAIR THE DAMAGE, OPEN THE ARTERIES UP AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO. I DID NOT EVEN GET A PLACARD, DID NOT NEED IT. ONE WEEK IN THE HOSPITAL.
@@michaelvandorn604 Gee,I wish that my operations were as simple as just "cleaning out the arteries". And just FYI my application for a placard was signed by a senior surgeon at the world's most famous hospital. So maybe you should graduate from medical school before you go telling people that after *every* heart operation the patient is "good to go".
What’s your handicap? Your heart? Did your doctor repair it? And you are walking around, still alive for two years?? After heart surgery, your better! Stop the bullshit !
I rarely leave my house, but almost everyday i do i see people illegally parked in handicapped parking! Cops dont give a shit! This would be an easy way to make a lot of money for the state
Since doctors are required to sign off at the form (for getting disability placard), the authorities should do the following :- 1) on the form, full details of doctor + clinic must be mentioned. 2) if the abuser has been caught, the doctor who signed off should be served a hefty fine ... Let's say USD 10K (USD 10,000) as well. 3) the abuser has to pay a hefty fine of USD 50K (USD 50,000) PLUS one year's jail sentence. 4) the disabled whose family, relative or friend abused the disability placard, will not receive any disability benefits for two years. Indicate the above in the form.
Im in the uk, the main problem here isn't people misusing the disabled parking badges, its people who dont even have or need one still parking in disabled spots.
San Francisco has it's own handicap placard enforcement force. They will go around and any car with a placard, they will enter the number on the placard. If that number comes up as lost or stolen, that car gets ticketed and towed! Too many people with proper placards illegally get a second placard. More cities should do what SF is doing! Whether it's the DMV or a city's parking enforcement, they should do more than one placard crackdown a month!
Wished that my city would raise the fines to that of San Francisco. Had one lady who called me every name in the book when I said something to her. After she got done yelling at me, I told her that she proved to me that she was disabled, by mental health.
I've had people cuss me out when I've said something about them being in a handicap spot without a place card especially one designed to unload a wheelchair and that is with my handicap plates card showing and my manual wheelchair in the front seat of my car visible through the window and they've just taken the last spot for someone who needs it to unload a manual wheelchair.
I have a Permanent placard. I am 75 and suffer from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis as well as degenerative disc disease. Walking some days is very painful. I have literally driven back home and decided not to shop that day because there were no disabled spots left and I am sure some of those spots were illegal parkers.
The only problem with the fines is that some people don't care and the working mother who is being "stupid" (granted, not an excuse), get the same fine. Mr. Lexus pays it and goes on his way, Mrs Soccer Mom, pays it and can't feed her kids the next week. Again, no excuse to break law, but maybe community service with disabled people would be an alternative. I just watched one of these videos where 3 punks in an Escalade said "I'll just pay the fine" - didn't phase him. That is not Justice (in my opinion)
I remember the very first time I saw some inconsiderate imbecile park in a handicap spot... It was raining, and the guy pulls in, parks and runs into the store...About the same time, a car with a handicap plate cruises by but has to park in a regular spot some thirty or so yards away...I watched as the man struggled with a small, collapsible wheelchair, settled into it and rolled himself into the store through the poring down rain... Now, whenever I see an unauthorized vehicle in a handicap spot...well...all I can say is, "Uh, oh, better get Maaco!" I have keys and I'm not afraid to use them!
. *A first-degree misdemeanor conviction for vandalism comes with a prison sentence of up to one year, a $1,000 fine, or both; when it results in more than $1,000 worth of property damage, you may be charge with a third-degree felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison, a $5000 fine, and 5 years of probation.*
My husband has a parking permit, recently we couldn't get a parking spot in a supermarket car park. There was a car parked with no permit, I blocked the car, unfortunately I reversed & tipped the car. Eventually the driver came out & mayhem ensued. Her mother has a permit, but the permit was in the mother's bag. The manager & security wouldn't clamp the car, it's not their job. The police were called.
My 24 Hour Fitness Gym has underground parking with only 4 Handicap Spaces. There use to be 6 but the 2 closes spaces to the elevator are now regular parking. The problem? There are 3 vehicles with Handicap Placards that take up 3 of the spaces all night. From the looks of it, they appear to be mobile homeless.
Heartbreaking when you see what some poor people have to go through to just get an errand done or a doctors visit. How can people be so cruel??? They should tow them immediately too. if they stay there all day the may make SEVERAL people's lives miserable or impossible.
Forget the fine, they should have the car towed and get a citation. The fines should be much higher. A mininum of $1,000. A second violation doubles and so on.
I can appreciate what they are doing my wife has a hang tag due to Mobility Issues from her neck and spine deteriorating. I just have a concern of being approached and questioned by an Officer for parking in a Handicap Spot with a current and visual hang tag technically you have yet to do anything illegal and this Officer is going to Detain you and verify your tag by checking your ID. The act alone is a violation to find out if you should have the hang tag sorry doesn't work that way
I once went to the Presidio Sutro baths site early in the morning when the lot was almost empty. I see a car with no placard parked right next to the stairs in a disabled spot. 2 minutes later, a nice big ticket. Im guessing at least $1000. Since parking fees and tickets are 10 times higher in San Francisco. I laughed inside because whoever parked there had hundreds of other spaces they could've parked in. Including the ones only 50 feet away from the stairs. How lazy could someone be?
This is a little off the subject, but I was at the mall with my father, mother and wife. My wife and mother wanted to get something in the mall so we dropped them off at the front and went to the back to wait for their call to pick them up. While we waited we watched two teen age girls circling the parking lot in there car. Looking for a spot on a very busy day. Finally with no choice they parked by us, way in the back. They both got out and slowly headed toward the mall. As they got close, a car pulled out from one of the stalls up front. Both girls got super excited, one girl stayed and guarded the spot while the other ran all the way back to get her car and move it to the front spot. After parking their car they had a spring now in their step as they headed toward the mall. My wife and mother took what seemed to be an eternity. After an hour the two girls came back, each had a small bag and still a spring in the step as they happily got in there car that was parked up front now and left.
These people have no conscience! If they have, they won't park on disable parking lot. My husband is disable, he has difficulty in walking because of an accident and of course i used the BPL but only if my husband is w/me .I just can't do it when i'm alone, my conscience won't let me.And besides, i know how it felt when u can't use that space because some healthy and an unprivelege people used it for granted.
About damn time but we need more. Eh just put a camera on every corner and mid corner. Itll help deter crime, your in public so you can be recorded and photograph.
No one is abusing anything, everyone should be allowed to use this spaces especially if they are open, if they don't have a placard then have them pay $2.50 per day,that way everyone wins, and no useless tickets are given away And the cops could be using there time wisely and going after the real criminals.
Sorry but will never work. How about you give me your non surgically put together spinal cord and lack of mobility? Do you think it's about " great parking or convenience?? We have no choice! This Handicapped ♿ placard is not some arbitrary privilege but a necessity for some of us. Walk or roll in my shoes. You're going to be glad you are not disabled!
@Sarah E You couldn't be more wrong, the handicap spaces should be sold Luke a season pass,this way everyone would be able 2 get preferred parking, just like SeaWorld, Walt Disney.
@Sarah E Everybody needs these spaces, that's why everyone parks there,so to make it fare,then these spaces should be free to everyone this way no one needs to pay anything and everyone Is happy. But to get these spaces it should be first come first serve. This way everyone wins.
@Sarah E Everyone needs a parking spot close to any building, this way you are closer to go take care of business alot faster, and no one waste time looking for another spot far away.
In My City, Adelaide (South Australia) only the local council Traffic Officers can enforce Placard Use and that simply never happens thus Fines are never imposed. Tragic really.
Now if they could do that more often then seat belt and light bulb violations we might get the message to violators to give a s about this selfish act.
@Bryon Stephens Cops pull people over all day on a strip in front of a casino, on my delivery route, and use the excuse that your tailLIGHT is out. They do this all day everyday. This is used to "fish" for other violations. Maybe use your time better then critize people and insult them.
I have severe lung problems can't walk 40 yards without feeling out of breath I don't look disabled so don't judge me the placard allows me to do my chores grocery shopping Dr. Visits if there is a spot next to handicap I'll take it so someone worse off can have it We are in this together
Everyone breaks the law now and then but that doesn't mean these low class people who illegally park in handicapped spots shouldn't get tickets. Sounds like someone hates cops.
$250 ticket?? That's all? Make it $2500.00. Get serious or don't bother. Same with people who text and drive. Hammer them. AND tow their cars. Make them pay for the costs of towing and reclaiming their car.
A handicap spot is for the handicapped person to go in and conduct their business or shop. If a healthy person goes into the store and the disabled person stays in the car that is a blatant disregard and misuse of the handicapped rule.
$200 for 1st offenders. A warning for people who might be using them when they are not transporting a disabled loved one.$1,000.00 for assholes who argue about it!
I’d like to know why they give half these people the placards anyway. They jump right out of the car walk right into the store without canes, walkers or wheelchairs. And most of us need the walk anyway! JustMyThoughts
Chief Noise Maker - Some people do have non-visible disabilities my friend. I'm a disabled veteran and I'm affected daily but complaining won't make things better. Coming together for a logical solution will. Your view is noted and respected
Well thank you very much for serving, but wouldn’t you agree that those folks that are in pain you can actually tell and almost everybody else even while enduring pain, a longer walk and the more you walk probably isn’t going to hurt them one bit. Then Little old grandma and grandpa just trying to get a quart of milk at the store can get a nice spot. You know it’s just the self absorbed that take the spots and could care less about anybody else’s pain. The same people that cheat in the carpool lane and cut in line everywhere.
@@theMister07 Just because your a veteran doesn't automatically mean you qualify for a handicap placard. Well we do appreciate your service but that's not the point. If you served and got injured to the point where walking is a challenge, then you qualify and yes I know the stress they go through during combat. People that can actually walk who have no medically documented disability do not qualify for handicap parking and should be slapped with a fine, tow, and storage fee until they pay it off.
@@F40-RULES - I agree with your assessment. I'm well documented for multiple issues by Our beloved government. I get the Looks but Never the talk so far. Its good to know that there's people left that give a Damn about the Vets. This thanks is for you...
Not all disability’s are visible. I may look fine after getting out of my vehicle when going into the store but after walking around and shopping I struggle to get back to my car.
@E Boston I have a bad back and I can't even walk sometimes. And I will never park in a handy caped spot. There are people that need that spot more than I do. I know people who parked there because Thay stubbed their toe and can walk that extra 10 feet. I have even sat in a Parken lot and just watched people park there and get out and run across the street like there was nothing wrong with them. I asked them why you parked there? I see you run across the parking lot. She said her arm was sore from playing at the beach with her kids.
What about the lady who was using the spot to attend a fitness class workout? Spending money at a gym seems odd when you could park 100 yards away and, I DUNNO, WALK ?
I'm all for making sure reserved parking spots are available only to those with disabilities, but it concerns me that cops and random passersby target those who don't "look disabled". The fact is, most disabilities are invisible and they affect young and old alike. Please don't assume someone isn't actually disabled or isn't "disabled enough" based on appearance and then take it upon yourself to harrass them.
@Dee Cee That's incorrect. Most disabilities are invisible. And having a placard and papers, even out for everyone to see, doesn't stop the harrassment.
Dee Cee Not sure how any of that negates what I said. The likely reasons you only seem to know people whose disabilities are visible are 1) generally nobody has to tell anyone about their visible disability as it's obvious to most sighted people and 2) generally you _don't_ know about someone's invisible disability unless they tell you. In other words, you almost certainly know multiple people with invisible disabilties and just don't realize it. I am sorry to hear about that tag scam near you. I know this type of fraud does happen, and it's shameful. It just concerns me that publicizing the issue in irresponsible ways is leading to further harrassment of genuinely disabled people.
Jean Taylor - that's a great question JT been searching that answer myself but I will say this, we must get that info for states on our radar for visitation or pay a hefty price later on
people drive past me on the highway at 85pm, speed limit is 70, on the highway and the DMV/State Police/Local authorities no one cares. i am put in danger on the highway and this is a priority? whatever.

What's the maximum of $1,000 fine then they need to change the sign saying minimum 250 and up to $1,000 fine maybe people might think twice
The 1000$ fine is misusing a placard. The 250 is parking there with no placard.

@Sarah E Everybody needs these spaces, that's why everyone parks there,so to make it fare,then these spaces should be free to everyone this way no one needs to pay anything and everyone Is happy. But to get these spaces it should be first come first serve. This way everyone wins.
@Sarah E Everyone needs a parking spot close to any building, this way you are closer to go take care of business alot faster, and no one waste time looking for another spot far away.
That's a hot blonde cougar reporter.
She works in San Diego
COME TO SANFORD, FLORIDA!! WE NEED THIS CONE HERE!!!
In My City, Adelaide (South Australia) only the local council Traffic Officers can enforce Placard Use and that simply never happens thus Fines are never imposed. Tragic really.
Now if they could do that more often then seat belt and light bulb violations we might get the message to violators to give a s about this selfish act.
@Bryon Stephens Cops pull people over all day on a strip in front of a casino, on my delivery route, and use the excuse that your tailLIGHT is out. They do this all day everyday. This is used to "fish" for other violations.
Maybe use your time better then critize people and insult them.
I have severe lung problems can't walk 40 yards without feeling out of breath I don't look disabled so don't judge me the placard allows me to do my chores grocery shopping Dr. Visits if there is a spot next to handicap I'll take it so someone worse off can have it We are in this together
I have a handicap tag also but i try not to use it if i dont feel i need it because i know some one needs it worse than i do
The only way people will stop doing this is to fine them the maximum.
The same people handing out tickets break the laws also
Everyone breaks the law now and then but that doesn't mean these low class people who illegally park in handicapped spots shouldn't get tickets. Sounds like someone hates cops.
What and how do they issue tickets to illegals who don't have a license?
If you parked there without a license then police a called for driving without a license and to ID you so they know who to fine.
$250 ticket?? That's all? Make it $2500.00. Get serious or don't bother. Same with people who text and drive. Hammer them. AND tow their cars. Make them pay for the costs of towing and reclaiming their car.
The VA issues my placard and it has my photo on it the fact that you can buy them online is ludicrous.
A handicap spot is for the handicapped person to go in and conduct their business or shop. If a healthy person goes into the store and the disabled person stays in the car that is a blatant disregard and misuse of the handicapped rule.
Should charge them for that as well. Both the driver and disabled person.
They always got excuses smh
$200 for 1st offenders. A warning for people who might be using them when they are not transporting a disabled loved one.$1,000.00 for assholes who argue about it!
Great job. Unlike some states where the Cops are too wimpy to confront or ticket the offenders.
What about the cops who park illegally?
They always making excuses
Got told "I'm handicapped because I'm black" as I walk to store with a prosthetic leg when no spaces available.
Excuses Excuses Excuses....shamefull
Possibly, higher fines might deter the culprits.
The signs should have photos on them.
Name and shame.
'I can't get online to check my email.' Right... >.>
They should enforce it in Miami …
Feels great to get a good parking spot at Disneyland when you’re not disabled and just too lazy 😎
I’d like to know why they give half these people the placards anyway. They jump right out of the car walk right into the store without canes, walkers or wheelchairs. And most of us need the walk anyway! JustMyThoughts
Chief Noise Maker - Some people do have non-visible disabilities my friend. I'm a disabled veteran and I'm affected daily but complaining won't make things better. Coming together for a logical solution will. Your view is noted and respected
Well thank you very much for serving, but wouldn’t you agree that those folks that are in pain you can actually tell and almost everybody else even while enduring pain, a longer walk and the more you walk probably isn’t going to hurt them one bit. Then Little old grandma and grandpa just trying to get a quart of milk at the store can get a nice spot. You know it’s just the self absorbed that take the spots and could care less about anybody else’s pain. The same people that cheat in the carpool lane and cut in line everywhere.
@@theMister07 Just because your a veteran doesn't automatically mean you qualify for a handicap placard. Well we do appreciate your service but that's not the point. If you served and got injured to the point where walking is a challenge, then you qualify and yes I know the stress they go through during combat. People that can actually walk who have no medically documented disability do not qualify for handicap parking and should be slapped with a fine, tow, and storage fee until they pay it off.
@@F40-RULES - I agree with your assessment. I'm well documented for multiple issues by Our beloved government. I get the Looks but Never the talk so far. Its good to know that there's people left that give a Damn about the Vets. This thanks is for you...
Not all disability’s are visible. I may look fine after getting out of my vehicle when going into the store but after walking around and shopping I struggle to get back to my car.
What about marajuana permit abuse
They need to do that in New York
What's funnier, the parade float at :37 whining about the ticket or the woman in the fancy pickup claiming she can't get online?
Stephen Sullivan They didn’t say it was an excuse.
Some people are just awful!!
And what about the disability carts in the store, I've seen people park a regular space and jump on those. Its just a greedy world.
Yes, and thats fair.
I call bullshit on the first women
Always see it at Costco. COSTCO. They don’t care....
First time a ticket next time a mark on there license across the board. NO MORE EXCUSES.
If you're not in a wheelchair you're not crippled.
@E Boston I have a bad back and I can't even walk sometimes. And I will never park in a handy caped spot. There are people that need that spot more than I do. I know people who parked there because Thay stubbed their toe and can walk that extra 10 feet. I have even sat in a Parken lot and just watched people park there and get out and run across the street like there was nothing wrong with them. I asked them why you parked there? I see you run across the parking lot. She said her arm was sore from playing at the beach with her kids.
@@chrishessey9733Well unless you’re permitted to do so, you shouldn’t park in a handicapped space.
What about the lady who was using the spot to attend a fitness class workout? Spending money at a gym seems odd when you could park 100 yards away and, I DUNNO, WALK ?
Easy money for city, county & state agencies.
Make it a $ 2000.00 fine
We need this in Seattle x100
Fine should be $2500.
Come to South Los Angeles. Pick any Walmart
I'm all for making sure reserved parking spots are available only to those with disabilities, but it concerns me that cops and random passersby target those who don't "look disabled". The fact is, most disabilities are invisible and they affect young and old alike. Please don't assume someone isn't actually disabled or isn't "disabled enough" based on appearance and then take it upon yourself to harrass them.
Stephen Sullivan No, that clearly wasn’t what they were saying. Try paying attention.
@Dee Cee That's incorrect. Most disabilities are invisible. And having a placard and papers, even out for everyone to see, doesn't stop the harrassment.
@@Tat2Dragons Thank you. Not sure how Stephen got that from my comment, lol.
JFM You’re welcome.
Dee Cee Not sure how any of that negates what I said. The likely reasons you only seem to know people whose disabilities are visible are 1) generally nobody has to tell anyone about their visible disability as it's obvious to most sighted people and 2) generally you _don't_ know about someone's invisible disability unless they tell you. In other words, you almost certainly know multiple people with invisible disabilties and just don't realize it.
I am sorry to hear about that tag scam near you. I know this type of fraud does happen, and it's shameful. It just concerns me that publicizing the issue in irresponsible ways is leading to further harrassment of genuinely disabled people.
100,000 dollar fine they won't do it ever again
What does California do for our-of-stare permit holders? We live in a boarding state which does not issue ID cards or papers, just the hang tag?
Jean Taylor - that's a great question JT been searching that answer myself but I will say this, we must get that info for states on our radar for visitation or pay a hefty price later on
Through the abusers in jail
people drive past me on the highway at 85pm, speed limit is 70, on the highway and the DMV/State Police/Local authorities no one cares. i am put in danger on the highway and this is a priority? whatever.
It happens all the time they be fined $1200 the first offense bet they will think twice the next time
Upper Darby Pennsylvania will ticket you with a placard that's legal. Watch out if you have that if you visit here!
Time for underground parking.
