Handicap parking spots

May I respectfully suggest that this flame war has gone far enough?

Simple enough matter that these spots are reserved for those who need them,
and their vehicles are identified with either a special plate or placard.
Sure there are those who will abuse any privledge, like a doctor who double
parks for a dinner engagement..... he's an arrogant sob, but the world is
full of those...

Sure it pisses off those of us who have to park a mile away to see an
apparently able bodied individual hop out of a car and run into a store -
but maybe they're racing to pick up a prescription for the owner who has a
legitimate health problem - one never knows.

See a car without a tag or plate in a spot? grab your cell and dial the
po-lice. They'll be glad to issue a $500 fine to add to the city's
coffers - will make that idiot think twice about doing it again.

You are indeed correct about this flame war. Working a 3 day Christmas shift
(43 hours) is hard. However, picking up medications isn't legitimate use of
a handicap plate by an able bodied person either.

Your suggestion is excellent and I second the motion, use your cell to call
authorities.

Apologies are in order and so tendered. End of slinging from my end.
