I’ll agree not to sue for $10,000.

Can’t the targeted businesses get together and file a class-action suit against this man?

No one should be able to get rich by looking for and suing businesses that may or may not comply with the ADA. That is just vile.

The rest of the article is interesting.

The plaintiff uses the court system to harass anyone that he doesn't like, due to any slight (real or imagined).

He has become such a nuisance that a judge in California has declared him a "vexatious litigant", and banned him from filing any lawsuits in California courts.

However, that prohibition doesn't apply to federal courts, so the plaintiff is able to continue his harassment, using the ADA.

He’ll just take his scheme to the next town.

I think this whole government-by-lawsuit business is waaaay out of hand. People file lawsuits to stop construction projects because of 'endangered species', people file disability, employment discrimination lawsuits, etc.. This is no way to run a country, having a bunch of self-appointed busybodies getting rich off of others.

It's bad enough when government bureaucrats stick their noses in their business, now we 'deputize' every idiot with a lawyer to harass everyone for some tiny thing. It is the worst, most arbitrary, unfair way to run a government and is against the idea of equal treatment under the law.

So, he settled for being bought off?

So much for him doing this as an act of conscience for disabled people.

Extortion always brings bribery with it. Elected officials who give in to extortion with the taxpayer’s money, should be voted out of office.

Repeal ADA.
