lots snipped err, no. That permit is very specifically for "official business", which does NOT include 99 or so percent of what it's used for. And most of the so-called permits are complete garbage, such as police donation appreciation placards. Periodically I suggest to the folk who receive these suggestions that they tell the ticket givers to print up summonses on everyone who's in a violation zone. Regardless of what's on the dashboard. If the owner of the car is, indeed, on official business (or other permitted activity), say... a Visiting Nurse checking on a patient, or a police detecitve in an unmarked car upstairs phtographing a crime scene, or... an FCC field tech up on a roof making RF measurements.., then they simply send the ticket back aith an affadvit and it's dismissed. I'd bet you more than 90 percent of them won't. But, alas, the privileged folk who use these placards are the same priviliged folk who make these policies, so don't expect any change in our lifetime. Nor in most other jurisdictions... -- Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded
