He obviously tried everything to get him to stop the ticket but they just don't do that. Maybe if he offered the LEO a scoop of Fancy Nancy with a side of potato soup it may have worked. Great chicken salad by the way if you haven't tried it.
I wonder what kind of information the LEO was entering on the "ticket" There is absolutely no way that he can issue a ticket for an unoccupied golf cart that would be accurate. There is no license plate, he does not know the owner nor the driver of the cart. He might stick a warning on the cart saying it is illegal to park in the fire lane. The owner should have stayed in the store until the LEO left if he wanted to avoid a ticket. But by coming out he gave the LEO an opportunity to demand papers.
