Disabled Person Parking Placards & Plates

DP bulletins and DP License Plates award you similar stopping advantages. The thing that matters is that tags should remain forever appended to the vehicle for which they are given, making them ideal for an impaired driver's very own utilization. Notices, then again, can be moved starting with one vehicle then onto the next, making them a decent choice for a parental figure who moves a debilitated individual.  Kinds of DP notices:  Super durable stopping notice for long-lasting handicaps. Substantial for quite some time. Lapses on June 30 of each odd-numbered year. You are simply permitted to have one extremely durable bulletin at some random time.  Transitory stopping bulletin for brief incapacities. Substantial for as long as 180 days (a half year) or until the date noted by your passing authorized clinical expert on the application (whichever time period is more limited). Can not be recharged in excess of multiple times in succession.  Travel stopping bulletin for...

Los Angeles Criminal Lawyers Hoffman & Associates

The California Department of Motor Vehicles estimates that more than 30% of disabled parking placards issued in the state are being used illegally. California Vehicle Code Section 4461 makes it illegal to use someone else’s disability placard when parking, or lending someone your disability placard to use. If you have been issued a disabled placard, you are the only person authorized to use it and you must be either the driver or the passenger in a vehicle for the placard to be valid. The illegal use of handicap placards is a growing problem in California, but many people do not realize that the consequences are serious and the fines are significant. The California DMV may cancel or revoke your disabled placard for fraudulent use. In addition you could face a fine of $250 - $3,500, or up to six months in jail if caught using a disabled placard illegally. Unfortunately, it is possible to be accused of disabled parking fraud even though the placard is being used legally. For example, if ...

Most Americans Say Medical Marijuana Shouldn't Be Used By Kids Or In Front Of Kids

While nearly two-thirds of people agree that their state should allow medical marijuana for adults, half as many - just over a third - say it should be allowed for children, according to today's University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health that included a national sample of adults in the U.S. Eighty percent of respondents go even further, saying adults shouldn't be allowed to use medical marijuana in front of kids - a view most prominent among parents of children under 18 years old. Nearly half of states now have laws permitting medical marijuana, and few such as Michigan enforce stricter rules for children's use of medical marijuana. The Mott poll is the first to measure the public's views about the use of medical marijuana for children compared to adults. "We found that while most people support state laws that permit medical marijuana use among adults, the story is dramatically different for children. Medical ma...

But what about parking?

How do owners and managers of residential rental properties comply with all the applicable laws regarding parking for the disabled? There are federal laws, state laws and sometimes local laws which may conflict with one another, and may apply to different areas of the property or different users of the parking spaces. This article is designed to help clarify the current state of the law. The federal law called the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that any area to which a member of the public is invited, must be “accessible” to disabled persons. There must be curb cuts, ramps, wide doorways, lever door handles, etc. on the routes that a disabled person might take in order to contact a representative of the owner of the property. Under California law, properties with 16 or more residential rental units must have a representative of the owner on-site. If that representative interacts with the public, for instance conducting tours and taking applications from prospective resi...
