The 16K question doesn't have an answer "unless" we pay to have police standing next to all these spots to inquire documentation. How do I feel? I don't judge anymore as to "look" at me---I "might" look normal. BUT my disability is invisible--so may be many more people. As I said before---walk in the shoes then ask the question. I would ask "how do you know they're fraudulent?"
As for service dog issues...one can already know due to their extensive training. They remain "heeled" at their master/mistress. IF in a restaurant or other building, they sit quietly under the chair. You never/ever pet them as they're working. They won't pee/poop without their person allowing them to. They won't bark at other animals or people. You may ask a person who has one exactly all they're trained to do. As another poster stated on here--a service dog will never ride in a shopping cart---ever!! NOR will they pull on their leash.
