Misc Faking disability to access a sold out event - Page 3

This would have be one of the lowest things a person could do. It would seem that anyone could rent or borrow a wheel chair and buy a wheel chair access ticket.

How often do you think this happens?
Do you know of anyone that has done this?
Do you have to show proof that you are disabled?

If you go to sleep with blueballs, yes.

I agree people without an issue should NOT be using the handicapped parking but some that need it do not LOOK like they do. Heart conditions, lung problems, etc. I think the people that don't have a problem using the reserved spaces should be given a broken leg and NOT be allowed to use the spots.

pretty clever idea.

dick move though.

i know someone who has a DR. friend that wrote him a note/ filled out the necessary paperwork so he can take to DMV and get issued a handicapped tag to hand in their window.

He def doesn't need it.

That's the way the world is turning; if you don't screw the system when you can, you're a chump.

Know a number of friends who declared bankruptcy although they had the capability to pay off their debt; just the savy thing to do.

Sure it's wrong, but I've never seen all the handicap spots taken legitimately anywhere. They even have like 8 handicap spots here at the golf course -- never seen one being used in all the years I've been here.

I understand that people who actually need them should definitely have them, but the perception is that "so many people abuse it anyways, why shouldn't I?"

That's because handicapped peopled don't play golf.

I'm all for giving the close spots for handicap people but when your handicap is "fat", well.... I lose sympathy and think you could probably stand to walk the extra 30-50 feet like the rest of us.

i know alot of people that do this, but they have someone in their family that is handicapped. My friend when i was in HS did it, his grandmother was something like 85 years old back then and it was for her. He was like why not use it, i got it. lol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Millard

Mike Millard, nicknamed "Mike The Mike" was an avid concert taper in the 1970s and 1980s, recording mostly Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones concerts in California, especially at the Los Angeles Forum.[1] He taped virtually every show at the Forum from 1974 to 1980. Many of his recordings found their way into the hands of bootleggers who sold Millard's work to fans.

Starting with a basic mono recorder in 1974, Millard upgraded to a Nakamichi stereo recorder with AKG Acoustics microphones for the 1975 Led Zeppelin shows in the area. He often used a wheelchair to conceal his equipment, pretending to be disabled.[2] Unlike most 1970s audience bootlegs, Millard's recordings are noted for their great sound quality, and are to this day considered some of the finest audio bootlegs available.

Millard's recording of the Led Zeppelin concert on June 21, 1977 at the Forum (allegedly taped from row number six) was released under the title Listen To This Eddie, and remains one of the best-known Led Zeppelin bootlegs. His recording of the opening number from the concert, "The Song Remains The Same", was included in the promos menu of the Led Zeppelin DVD.

I personally own some of these recordings and it's amazing how he was able to get such quality sound for that time period.
I just wish I would have thought of this back in the 70s.

I like to give tickets to people who parking in handicap parking.

I'm doing my part to stick it to the rule breakers.

MichaelH · 10-01-2010, 05:28 PM

I see a lot of 40 somethings driving Caddies around here wearing bedroom slippers and PJ's that park in the Handicapped zone. They don't look too handicapped other than the way they dress in public.

Gracie Dean · 10-01-2010, 05:29 PM

Okay, I don't have a HC placard, but I could quailify for one and I do not look handicapped. I may get one in the future. Some people do abuse the system, but not all handicaps are visible to others.
