I was sitting in the idling car in the handicapped parking space, and was giving a ticket for parking in the handicapped space, is there a point of fighting a ticket, since the car was not "parked" (left unattended) for a period of time?

The sense of the law is that the spot needs to be available for handicapped people. And in any case, do you see any real distinction between a car that is left in place for an extended period of time with the motor running or the motor not running? Bottom line- if a handicapped person came along, they couldn't use that spot because you were occupying it. Pay the ticket and learn a lesson!
Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not already done so, you should immediately meet with an attorney for a full consultation before you take any further steps. You may feel free to call me to discuss this matter in more detail. If you do so, mention Law Guru and your first one hour of time will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner |
