San Jacinto enlisting help in monitoring disabled parking

Quote:

SAN JACINTO - Scofflaws who park illegally in handicapped spaces are more likely to get caught and face a $325 fine under a proposed city ordinance.
The City Council tentatively authorized members of the Citizens on Patrol group -- the Police Department's volunteer eyes and ears -- to issue parking citations.

Nice signs.

However, the second sign is definitely not "Politically Correct".

It should be "handicapped", not "disabled".

We could use some o' those in Mississippi.

Who cares? It gets the point across. You can call me handicapped, disabled, physically challenged...I don't care, but you call me retarded, 'n' I'll break yer frakkin' neck. :p

"Citizens On Patrol" makes me think of that Police Academy sequel.

i remember a while back in cali they were going to make parking spaces next to the handicapped ones for pregnant women. i think it was jay leno who was asking how soon a pregnant woman is eligble for the space, he made a joke about her using the space right after she got impregnanted to buy a pack of smokes.

Big problem here is that there are various levels of disabled and handicapped.

For example, many people are eligible to get a sticker, perm or temp for recent surgery, poor mobility, etc. So when they get out of their car and walk you might not think that they are "disabled" when in fact it is totally legit.

I can see if there is no sticker or tag to indicate legal parking, those people ought to be shot. We recently had a great case in our local Kroger. Cop pulls up and sees a car parked in the handicapped space without a appropriate tag. He blocked the guy in till he came out and slaped him with a $250 fine. Justice served.

Why? The original link worked fine for me.

Some businesses used to do that, voluntarily, IE Tom Thumb's "Stork Club" parking, but I haven't seen it anywhere lately except Babies -R- Us.

Why don't we have these? You can't tell me that carrying an entire human being inside your body doesn't constitue a valid mobility issue.

We have them down my way - In fact, the Shop Rite (in DE on rt 202) has the first 4 or 5 spots taken for "maternity parking" So in all I'm guessing they have about 3 rows x 6 = 18 for handicapped use and the same # for maternity parking. I just park and take the shuttle from the back side of the lot when I go now. j/k A minor inconvenience IMO.

What's with the "Mom with kids" spots? (Wegman's, Downingtown)
I park in them but I don't get it...

It's easy to spot the scofflaw in San Jacinto--spot the car with wheelchair tire treads on the hood.
