Thats the sort of opening I truely like, they tend to get it both barrels, but appropriately and effectively. If the are dumb enough to try to make it physical they just might find out how much the removeable handles on my wheelchair, be good to know myself really.

remindes me of a movie where there was an obnoxious guy in a wheelchair picking fights with people.

everywhere i go i see signs saying that disabled people are people too, why should they have special carparks?

Its because society acknowledges that the disabled have mobility and other impairments. That kind of comment indicates the sort of person you are really. I was not picking a fight, I was standing, err sitiing up for my rights and the rights of all disabled people. You nicely demonstrate a systemic problem within NZ society, the "I'm just thinking about myself and stuff anyone else" mentality. I'm sure you would be the first to complain if your rights where violated eh...

Was in New World, noticed a non-permitted car in a Disability Space. So I waited for about 15 minutes.

There was Police identity card hanging from the mirror....mmmm, I thought.

A couple with 2 kids approach the car...I asked the guy whether he was a Police Officer, he pointed to his partner so I asked if she was a Police Office and she said yes.

I pointed out that she was parked in a disability bay etc, she was indifferent a and when I told her I had her number and would report her she said she was not bothered.

When I asked her whether she knew she had parked in a Disabled bay she actually admitted she knew...didn't even have the bits to say it was dark etc.

So called Takapuna Police, gave them details. I was given the option to make an official complaint or did I want them just to have a word. I went for the latter cause all I aim to do is make a point

Anyway, 5 minutes later (the sargeant must have known her) he calls back, says he has had a word with her and she has passed on her apologies.

Not impressed with her but good on the Police Sargeant for taking action.

She obviously did not take me seriously......was probably surprised to get a call from the Sargeant eh?..........

You have had lots of advice on what 'they' would have done and on what you should have done - but you did 'something'. And that's what counts. Good on ya! A Bling is on it's way.

all I need is glue....

CCS ran a campaign.

Short film starting with close up of wheels being removed from a car, lots of "quick, before someone sees us"..........then the camera zooms out and 4 guys in wheelchairs are shown racing away with wheels on their laps with a wheel less car behind them...real cool

A good quality glue is required (quick setting) & placed in the centre of their front field of vision.

The obvious solution seems to have been overlooked.

The lack of a disability's easy fixed.

FWIW I think your reaction was balanced and appropriate. They need to be absolutely above that sort of shit and I think it's likely the sarge would have torn her a new one.

Well done for sitting up to the bitch,man if I had the choice of paraplgia and having a car park exemption or my cancer and having to walk to a car park 20mts or 300mts away,what would I choose.Not a tough choice,I can walk.Who know she may well have an accident and need to use the parks herself,we can't see into the future.Bet her tone would be the same as yours to anyone using said parks,hell you guys have 2-3 parks in carparking sites,normal people have say 100 to choose from,some are so friggin lazy.
When we go to NP to shop we usually go to centre city park there and walk up town,good exercise.

Some people are so self centered that they are merely part of the problem and don't like the truth when the solution is discussed. If this is the way society is going maybe we are all farked?

Well got my first victim with the superglue poster

He was in the car, asked him to wait, stuck on his rear screen.

He moves. Then parks behind the car legally parked in the mobility space next to us and also at a pedestrian crossing. Told him to use his brains and find a proper space. So he reverses and double parks further back.....this guy has brains....told him to find a space..he did.

This is the 3rd person I have caught waiting for girlfriend working at ASB, Devonport.

His excuse "I am just waiting a minute for my girlfriend"..after finding somewhere else to park he was still waiting 10 minutes later.

He got some of poster off but will have to scrape rest off.....joys
