If he reads the comments, Ive got a good question for him too...

Last night, I went to the local walmart. I pulled into a spot and while walking up I noticed something that really bothered me. There was a police car, with no lights or occupants just stopped in the middle of the lane. To make matters worse, he was blocking the first 2 handicapped spots. The officer was up at the front of the store talking to someone. But why couldnt he have parked up front. I wish he couldve been ticketed becuase although he wasnt parked in the handicapped spot, he blocked two of them, making them useless.

On a side note, he also made it nearly impossible for this man in his Toyota Sienna to back out from the spot opposite the cruiser. He had to keep going from reverse to drive just to avoid hitting him.

Id love your opinion on this and is there anything wrong with what he did.

(Sorry for bad grammar and or spelling. I wrote this on my phone, which doesnt auto correct or add puncuation.)

While the cop was not technically doing anything illegal...I'm gonna call asshat on that one.

It just really bothered me becuase on that side of the store, there are 5 handicapped spots down that row... he took up 2 of them. I also felt bad becuase what if the car in the next available spot was one of those handicapped vans with the doors that open up on the side (like that below, which btw is for sale )

They wouldn't be able to get in. The first spot has the concrete curb. So they couldn't get over it. There would be no way for them to access that side of the car.

On a side note, how cool (for a PT Crusier at least) is that thing? Doesn't look very safe considering that the whole pillar is removable, but either way.. I have never seen a PT Crusier turned into that.
