The media always needs a story

 

[ADAguy]

Takes all kinds!

Note the yellow paint, same as Washington state.

 

[jdfruit]

Another good one for the "don't do it" file

 

[Sifu]

Gotta be some rule against tampering with or removing signage and markings placed in accordance with the adopted ordinances don't you think?

 

[MASSDRIVER]

He's a retard. That's a disibility.

CHECKMATE!

Brent.

 

[Yikes]

MASSDRIVER, my head just exploded.

Requests ticket be dropped, since there is no HC sign, it's "obviously" not an HC spot.

That will depend on the judge.

Here the sign has to be in place along with the fine amount and the MCA #.

Altering or removing the space may or may not be a violation depending on the minimum number required and if there is a local prohibition against it

Had one of those brain dead f$%^sticks in my neck of the woods a year or so ago. Also made the local facebook page.

Sounds like it may be a zoning violation with changes made to the approved site plans for development.

Keep having the police issue tickets to him.

We issue permits for all striping of parking lots. If you do this as well, just check the records. You can also do google earth, after writing a citation to bring the parking back into conformance, when it comes time for court. The google earth images will show back to 1994 images.

We do too. The HC space is required per the approved plans.

I've also learned the State of Illinois classifies destruction or alteration of a marked space as a Class 4 Felony.

WOW

 

[ICE]

"I've also learned the State of Illinois classifies destruction or alteration of a marked space as a Class 4 Felony."WOW

I was surprised by that too. I mean who would've thought that they would have four classes of a felony.

 

[MASSDRIVER]

Since I'm a nefarious thinker; first thing I would say, is prove I did it. Then I would fight the ticket and say the stall was not properly marked.

Of course they could come back and say I didn't maintain the spot properly.

So pick your poison.

Brent.

Exactly.

and FWIW the reserve parking sign is not enforceable without a conditional will be towed (and no tresspassing) sign posted.

You mean those signs everyone ignores
