Personally, I like this idea better than the tow truck model. It makes their car less nice but doesn’t put them in a situation where their life might be fucked if they can’t afford to get their car out of impound and their income depends on having a car.
I miss my days of running a hardware store, mostly because of our forklift. Idiots had a penchant for blocking the entrance to our parking lot for some reason – I can’t fathom why – and when called out on it they’d give us lip right up until I mentioned we’d just pick up their car with the forklift and put it somewhere else.
I never actually had to do it. I did lift a pallet thief’s truck until he put my goddamn pallets back one time, though. That was pretty fun.
Laws should permit people with disabilities to legally scratch and dent the hell out of a vehicle parked like that.
We live in a society, and all must do our part to enforce the social contract.
It should be legal for anyone to key the shit out of cars that park like this
I already do, regardless
Regardless of whether they park legally? Or are you handicapped semi regularly?
Remember kids, if you see a guy in a wheelchair keying a car…go help. He can’t reach up high.

Ever seen what firefighters do to a car parked in front of a hydrant they need? Handicapped people should take note.

I want to get a forklift now.
“nice argument, unfortunately i’m forklift certified”
There are certain behaviors I feel like should mean the perpetrator forfeits the protection of law. Parking in bike lanes is also one.
If I was on a jury where they were prosecuting someone for smashing up a car parked in the bike lane or handicap spot, I’d probably find not guilty.
Well, if someone was illegally parked in a bike lane and their car was hit by a cyclist, what legal protection would they have? I’d say zero. 😄
