Eyewitness News has discovered that police officers are taking extreme measures to stop the problem, including arresting people.
I would be very surprised if police arrested anyone much more than they currently would. Some legitimate handicaps are not readily obvious and if the police arrested a legitimate handicapped user, they could risk a lawsuit as well as bad press for a false arrest of a handicapped individual! So I guess the question that Eyewitness News didn't state is how police are going to take extreme measures. Whatever it is I can't really see it going much beyond the issuance of a greater number of appearance tickets through greater surveillance.
