Just a little slice of life in EastBoCo: For April I wrote about the losers who choose to park illegally in disabled parking spaces and how Longmont has a volunteer patrol to help ticket these losers. Did I mention they're losers?
An excerpt:
Violators often return while the ticket is being written. Excuses run the gamut, says Scruggs, who volunteers four hours a week. “’I didn’t realize it was illegal,’ ‘I wasn’t hurting anybody,’ ‘I was only in there a few minutes;’ those are the big ones,” he says. He’s also heard that “this business doesn’t have handicapped customers;” “I’m running errands for my disabled sister/father/aunt/friend;” or “they bought it from someone who said they could use it.”
“I even had one guy just tell me ‘It’s worth the risk, it’s better than valet parking’,” says Scruggs.
Now that’s a bonehead deserving a ticket.
