Yeah... that really merits a shorter walk to the grocery store.
Everyone is just be too afraid to crack down on this abuse. Someone might say they're "against the handicapped" and "cruel and heartless"... Then everyone jumps on the "see how much I care" bandwagon and nothing gets done.

I don't understand who the depressed person would sue? The handicapped parking card application must be completed by a physician and states on it what type of walking restrictions the applicant must have to obtain the card. It may not be a visible handicap but might be a lung or heart condition. I do not think a physician would complete the application for a depressed person.
