In addition to issuing a handicapped placard for the vehicles, the INDIVIDUAL also gets a wallet size photo ID. Both are bar coded so a LEO can scan it. In that way, if a LEO spots someone parking that does no "appear" handicapped (and that can be deceiving), they simply scan the placard and see if the photo matches the person they saw park there, or asks to see the photo ID. If not, that person comes back to a ticket with a HUGE fine. It can be rescinded if it was a mistake upon proof that the person actually has the individual card that matches. This would stop all those who uses Mommy's placard illegally, as well as any stolen ones. I would not advise any private citizen to challenge the driver or ask to see the ID, unless they like the sensation of a 4 pronged cane up their rear end. Thoughts?
Excellent post ............... that's my thoughts!
