Yeah, this is sounding less like enforcing appropriate dp parking and more like "hey, let's get Kat to pay for the current CA budget woes!"
Oh, look at the pretties!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ugh Kat, what a HUGE PITA. Even with the current crackdown, that sounds like bullshit. Because, um, you were there with your daughter. At the Medical Center. Oy!

No kidding, Amych. But that's also how I feel about the increase in parking. It is now $11. It used to be $4 10 years ago. Isn't that wild?
Also, if I had to drop her off at building on campus, there are handicap spots in the campus, but you also need a campus permit to use those so we never do. She stopped at med center and then they were going to meet me at another building on campus.
I am most irked that they confiscated the pass itself.

The woman in line behind had dropped her handicapped teen off at camp and went to park the car using the placard and also got ticket and was pissed.
WTF?!
Yeah, WTFF alright?! I share amych's suspicions.
Babysitter just arrived.

On what grounds?!? That you shouldn't be allowed to drive your handicapped child anymore?

The latest Saturday tour time is 12:30, if that would work for you guys. We don't have to make reservations right now, so you two talk about it and we'll figure it out in the next week or two.
OK, cool. The 12:30 Saturday tour would be good to aim for, but it will depend on if there's anything we want to do in Louisville on Saturday. Anyway, we'll let you know when we have a plan!
Kat, I am getting more and more incensed on your behalf. TWO fines totaling $566 and the confiscation of your pass... for not paying an extra $7? The mind boggles. Also, why on earth would they make you wait 24 hours to contest a parking ticket?? (Well, to discourage you from actually doing it, I assume. ARGH.)

That is was placard misuse.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I don't think the people who enforce these crazy parking procedures understand that if you yourself is disabled, or have a disabled child, taking care of a disabled adult, that you have a lot of bullshit you go through every day. It can be very tiring and the last thing they need is more bullshit.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
How can they give you a ticket if you weren't parked in the space?
