I just recieved a $100 ticket for parking on the yellowed area of handicapped spaces in front of my ownb office. The policeman was very grumpy and pissy. I was nice and asked why we didn't get a wrning first and he said the POSTED SIGN is warning enough. I never knew that LEGALLY the yellow lines were part of the hanicapped area. Plus, we park there because we employ no handicapped people and to save close parking places for the car drivers in the company. We were being nice to everyone.
I plan on scheduling a court date but expect to loose. I will be including our HR department. I don't know why this happened after 2 years of parking there. Maybe someone in a nearby company complained?
Anyone have ANY advice, from you police guys or legal people or pervious experience? I am sure techincally I am in the wrong and will pay, I just wonder why this cropped up at all? Will this affect my record or insurance? How does this type of violation fit in?
