I suspect that the city has put out the word that it needs more revenue. Often, fines for parking in handicap spots are very lucrative for the city. Further, they are easy summons to defend. If the driver does not have the placard and letter, then the summons is a slam dunk.
So I suspect that this cop thought he saw an easy ticket because he didn’t see a limp it attracted his attention. However, he should have simply asked for the drivers license, and the letter from the doctor. Once all the paperwork was presented, he should have thanked him for his cooperation and his service and walked away.
What this cop did that was wrong was to open his mouth and put out his opinion. He should have stuck to the law.
Riviera Beach cops were bad news when I was in the area and apparently still bad news. If you have a disable sticker from the state of Fla that’s it. End of story.
