Yesterday, our esteemed publisher posted an item about free indefinite handicap parking and the city’s plan to possibly change the rules. The post was met with varying commentary, but I think most of us would agree that people with actual disabilities are not the problem — fakers are the problem. (Hey, we all know they are out there).
I don’t think the council’s idea is a terrible one. I don’t think they’ll get away with it either. But here’s another idea:
If you spot someone fraudulently parking in a handicap spot, or if you see a handicap sticker/ placard that looks suspicious here’s a spot where you to let everyone in cyber-world know about it. Handicapfraud.org may not be a legal resource, but it does call out a lot of offenders. At the site you can view all the latest reports about people behaving badly. I don’t see any Dallas reports on here yet, but now that you know about it …
