As someone who is handycapped and needs those spaces I feel that the officer should be punished as any civilian would. A police officer is supposed to be held to a higher standard than the rest of the public.

This all happens very often, sometimes police officers don't use their turn signals and they dont get punished with traffic tickets like the rest of us do.

I have photos of the CHP doing the same thing in Madera and their commander justified it in a letter to me. I will be sending KSEE the entire story.

Is that the shop that is on Hermosa and Elmwood?? There are several shops along Hermosa, that kind of look like the front of this store. Please, help us disabled people, if you can. Email me at Purple_Rosie@msn.com. I would like to talk to someone

Hello again-I think people all over don't really care about each other!! I was in Selma, Visalia, Exeter, and back home, and I was glad to get home. We stopped in Visalia, at one mall, and no one saw me coming, as big as I am? Doesn't anyone care?

Here I go again! Someone parked their car-with a white sheet on the drivers side, going all the way to the back window-for cooling, I guess, and was parked in handicapped section at the Verizon store in a Visalia mall, off of Mooney. Ok, duhh-people
