(Updated) Wiser contacted FTVLive to say that, "First, I am legally disabled and possess a handicapped sticker following a fall off the roof 20 years ago in Seattle. I suffered serious damage to my back and ankle.  The placard was clearly displayed on my car.  Therefore, your report is incorrect and potentially libelous."

Wiser added, "I demand immediate retraction and an apology before I contact legal counsel."

FTVLive reported that Wiser parked in a handicap spot and included the video. We did not claim that he parked illegally and Wiser claims that he has a placard that gives him the right to park in handicap parking.

FTVLive apologizes to Mr. Wiser for the story.
