Years ago I got a ticket for parking in a handicapped zone. I was coming back from the Keys in a torrential Florida down pour and pulled into a truck stop for gas just before getting onto Alligator Alley. The handicapped sign was completely hidden behind a row of fishing poles. You couldn't see the blue stripes on the pavement because of the deep water during the storm. The FHP was hiding behind a diptsty dumpster giving out $300 fines. The girl, working behind the counter in the store, told me that the FHP actually arranged the cane poles so the sign could not be seen and he had given out dozens of $300 tickets in just a few hours. Not sure how many lives were saved in that parking lot that day but the revenue was extraordinary!
