I would like to bring to your attention two cases of "Bureaucrats in dire need of

horsewhipping. After the tar and feathers, and in one case just before being shot in the legs.'
In the first, here in the US:
Carrara provided a copy of L&I’s “Report of Removal,” with the violation described as “Vending in a prohibited area.” She was parked on Market Street near 33d in University City and had a line of people waiting for cupcakes, but had yet to start selling. She said three officials from L&I’s Business Compliance Unit drove up to her truck around noon and blocked her from leaving. One of the officials then drove off with her truck, she said.

“Don’t worry, I’m a very good driver,” the man said, Carrara recalled. “I’ve done this before.” (H/T – Willceau
)
In this case, I guess you could settle for calling it a carjacking and shooting the bastards.


In the other case, over where Great Britain used to be,
Lance Corporal Johno Lee has clocked up £800 in fines for parking in disabled bays in his home town of Newark, Nottinghamshire, on days when he uses a wheelchair or feels unable to walk very far.

When he first applied to Nottinghamshire County Council for a blue badge, he was advised he was young and 'may get better'.
Get better from what, you may wonder?
His right leg was amputated below the knee after he was caught up in an explosion in Helmand Province in 2008 and was catapulted into a minefield.
That's right; he's been denied a handicapped parking permit THREE EFFING TIMES because HE MIGHT GET BETTER?!?!?
Why yes, you're right: these are the miserable who should be tarred, feathered and then shot in the legs. And they can't bitch about it, because they might get better, right?
In a statement, the Council's Service Director Mr Paul McKay said: 'We are looking into the matter and have arranged for a member of staff to meet Mr Lee to review the situation. We will urgently assess whether he meets the criteria for a disabled parking badge as laid down by the Department of Transport.'
HE LOST HIS FUCKING LEG, YOU BALL-LESS, CONSCIENCELESS PIECE OF SHIT! WHAT, OTHER THAN YOU WANTING TO SHIT ON A TROOP, COULD POSSIBLY MAKE YOU WASTES OF OXYGEN DENY HIM A PERMIT IN THE FIRST PLACE?

And I will add to the list the miserable excuses for lawmen or cop-wannabes who wrote him the effing tickets. You going to tell me NONE of them saw him and knew he was handicapped? NONE of the bastards knew of him? Bullshit.

Going back a few years (about 1999) Private Eye magazine had a piece about all of the Labour members of Durham County Council having zero duty tax disks on their cars.

Zero duty is for a car owned by or soley used to transport a disabled person.

one of those concilors had just completed a lands end to john o'groats cycle ride.

Like Durham, Notts is pretty much a Labour one party state. Corrupt, corrupt, corrupt.
