20 years ago, we didn’t have “handicapped” parking spots. Now, government uses them to make money. There are proportionately way more handicapped spots than there are handicapped drivers. If there is one handicapped driver per 1,000, then there should be 1 handicapped spot per 1,000 parking spots.

I agree that like most fines, this is a money maker for the government, but really, how hard is it for a non-disabled person to park in a conventional spot and walk?

And also, like most fines, paying is completely voluntary. This woman chose to park illegally. She gets to pay the fine. If she had chosen to park legally, she would not be paying any fine.

Quit your griping and be thankful you don’t need one.
