Handicapped parking space filled by judge: Bill Varian of the St. Petersburg Times used info from a state-issued handicapped parking permit to reveal that an administrative law judge in Tampa used a handicapped parking placard issued to an 86-year-old Bradenton woman. Judge Elving L. Torres “decides whether people are disabled enough to receive Social Security benefits,” the story said. But the handicapped parking placard on the dashboard of his silver Mercedes-Benz AMG coupe used at least seven times recently belonged to someone else. “At least once this week, by parking in a handicapped spot, Torres, 62, may have denied a woman who uses a wheelchair and works in the same building the ability to park there. She had to park at the far end of the lot and propel herself up an incline to get to her office because there were no empty handicapped spaces,” the story notes. It’s a misdemeanor to use another person’s handicapped placard unless that person is the vehicle at the same time.
