way off topic...just need to *****!
I just got a ticket. The police in our down are notorious for being jerks. I've always defended them because I respect position. Well, not so sure I'll be doing that anymore. I'm in northern IN and we are covered in snow and ice. I pulled in to go get a tea at Speedway. I come out to find this officer writing a ticket. He kinda threw it at me and said "here you go." I asked what it was for. He said that I was parked in a handicapped spot. I asked how I was supposed to know, everything was covered with snow and ice. He went over and kicked the snow off and said, "there you can tell now." UGH...he was such and ass!
Thanks for letting me *****!
What a jerk! Whether it not you were parked in a handicapped spot, that didn't give him the reason to be rude to you! Sorry you had to go thru that.
There are 2 reg spots and 1 handicapped in front of the store. There was a person to my left and I parked in what I thought was the 2nd reg. spot...it goes dumpster, reg spot, reg spot, handicapped spot. You couldn't see any lines, which is why he kicked the snow off to show me. I'm not so bothered by the ticket but don't be an ass about it.
In Indiana, Disable Parking spots have to have a sign on the actual parking spot, as well as a posted sign adjacent to the spot. See IC 5-16-9 Chapter 9. Parking Facilities for Persons With Physical Disabilities for more information.
