Trying to find a spot today and came across this winner

Should have placed a "Go-Wolfpack" bumper sticker on it.

Karma is a force of good. Folks that park in handicap spots with no permit are breaking the law and are criminals. Do you give a pass to all criminals?

NO - if I see someone being attacked and in danger of bodily harm, for example, I will step in myself.

Or if someone backs into another vehicle and tries to leave without doing the right thing. I will get their plate at a minimum or I will stop them myself and get involved to whatever extent necessary.

I am not a passive meek individual.

But I choose my "battles" carefully.

Go forbid I ever see an animal being abused!

If a parking violation disturbs me to the tipping point (which would take a LOT) - I would contact traffic division and make a GENERAL request to step up enforcement. Thereby not launching an INDIVIDUAL attack.

The illegal use of handicapped parking spaces is MORE than a "parking violation".

Perhaps Cindy having MS has made me overly sensitive on the subject...

Absolutely.

I agree with Baz on his other comments.

Well the problem with the parking is that people who have campers usually park further out in the parking lot. Thats why i took a pic to show how close je was to the store.

gotcha. i have a full size quad cab pickup truck that doesn't fit into some parking spaces around here. it's either too long or too wide or both, meaning it sometimes takes up 4 spots if i were to park like everyone else. if that's the case, i try to find space towards the back of the lot where it's emptier.
