During the Holidays in Illinois a “sting operation” was implemented at a large Regional Mall with huge results. During a three day period before the Holidays over a hundred tickets were issued for improper parking in handicap spaces, fake handicap placards, and the illegal use of handicap placards by unauthorized persons, etc. Of course, this didn’t fix the obvious abuse problem but for a little while it increased awareness that it was best to leave handicap spaces for the handicap. Perhaps, something similar could be duplicated here. For Service dogs, it may require legislation and a process of certification in order to stem the tide of pets being used for service dogs without being trained for the task.
