What is the name of your state? New Jersey.
Thank you to all those who responded. Allow me to clarify. My mother does not drive, the driver who "stood" in the handicaped parking zone was essentially the "chauffeur" Mom was at a doctors office, fasting for the morning before the blood test. Driver was "standing" outside the bagel store while grandchild ran in to get mom food after her blood test and she could break her fast and eat. If driver had gone in to get a bagel leaving the car parked, probably would not get a ticket because placard was hanging. But because driver was in seat, car idleing, police asked driver if handicapped person was in the bagel store, answer was no, so ticket was written. Mom is willing to go to court on court date, although I think it is a real health risk, she is 87 and frail, heart, parkinsons, can't walk. etc.
Do any of you out there have a change of heart now?
Thanks
