If Morse's court case goes his way, cities all over the state will have to write off unpaid fines and pass new laws just to try to force people like him to be responsible.

And our local and state taxes will have to cover the revenues lost. So, what Morse is really doing is forcing you and me to pay for HIS unpaid parking tickets.

Morse also markets inhalable alcohol machines.

Real social crusader.

Here's a personal perspective on a parking violation. About three years ago, I had to go to the Guilford County Courthouse for a civil case which I was a witness. I parked my car on Sycamore Street, in front of the jail. I fed the parking meter to the max. (2 hours).
I am a walker dependant disabled veteran. I have a handicapped placard on the rearview mirror. I, also have a 100% disabled license tag on my car.
When I emerged from the courthouse, I encountered a parking meter enforcement officer placing an overtime violation ticket under the windshield wiper. I pointed out that I was handicapped, in case he did not notice that I was assisted with a walker. I pointed out the placard, and the licensed tag. His answer...."If you are too crippled to pay the meter, stay home!"
I sent a copy of the placard, and my car tag registration to the Greensboro City tax collector and a copy to the city manager's office within a day. After about 100 days, I received a letter from the city that the parking violation was dismissed. However, because it was beyond the 90 day limit to pay, I was being charged a $25.00 late fee.
$25.00 for a $5.00 ticket???
I've never paid the $25.00. It is listed on my credit report to this day. The city refuses to remove it. They told me that I should have appealed it sooner. I told them that I could not appeal it until I received the violation. Duhhh, am I dumb or what? Just my story...The Dog's outa here.

You're telling us, with a straight face, a police officer told you- a disabled veteran with a walker- "If you are too crippled to pay the meter, stay home"?!?

Sounds like you should call 2 Wants to Know.

CD, why does this not surprise anyone?

I agree with this LTTE writer. Maybe he spends his time chasing ambulances! Or suing doctors for outrageous/ungodly amounts so insurances premiums will increase. All of these are valid reasons that he allows his unpaid parking tickets to go without being dealt with.

I hope he can work in the court system with a clear/clean conscience.

How many of us "regular joes" would be able to do what he has without having "blemishes" on our credit history (see Crime Dog's) posting.

Hello Prag...Yes, I'm staight faced on this. Everybody that knows me well, knows I'm always straight forward with what I say. And the $25.00 late fee is still on my credit record.
I have no idea if it registered with the meter man whether I was a vet or not. But, his words are etched forever on my memory.
And, remember, not everyone in public service is truly in public service. Just a drive to show off their power. The Dog's outa here, again.
