Have you ever driven to your local store and been so tired you just have enough energy to make it in and out, only to find there are no handicap spots open? Are there 3 cars there with NO HC placard? Make ya wanna scream? Grab your cell phone with a camera, take a photo of the back or the car, the front (so you can see the windshield) and the whole car in a clearly displayed HC spot and zip it off to

They will mail the photos to your local PD and when they collect the fine for the violation they send 10% of what the ticket costs to the charity of your choice.

Its an APP for your Droid or your IPHONE and is easy sent. They also have a community website so you can go talk about what you saw, ask questions, or check on the stories of others.

PLEASE dont use it to take photos and report a car with a proper tag, even if you feel that person is not the owner of the tag. As long as the tag is displayed there isnt anything the PD can do unless they show up right then and ask the person to prove its their permit. As many of you know we have days when we look great going into the store, but awful coming out. Sometimes we pull up to get a spouse, a child, or a parent. You never know what that person is up to, but this is a neat way to report the violation of those with NO tags displayed.

I hope nobody reports me when I'm on my fourth errand, tired, and just want to get home--and forget to hang my tag on the mirror.

if YOU get a ticket and YOU are the one with the HC placard, take the ticket, and the placard to the PD that wrote the ticket. Tell them you were exhausted and forgot to display it. 99% of the time they forgive the ticket. its still a pain to have to go take care of, but at least you dont end up paying for a simple mistake.

In my state, we have a serious problem with people parking 2 cars in one HC parking spot. One car will be parked legally, and the second car will be parked on the yellow lines of the van accessible spots.

I'm constantly finding motorcycles in the wheelchair access spots that are next to the handicap spots. That aint motorcycle parking!

there are never enuf handicapped spots for parking.
the other day i was so tired under the circumstances you described.
all i had to do was p/u my dry cleaning as i had already paid for it.
so i parked illegally and put my flashers on.

whew i got away and there were police eating at a restaurant nearby.
