19 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Park In A Disabled Spot If You’re Not Handicapped
There's always some inconsiderate asshole who doesn't care how or where they park. The worst are those who decide to occupy spaces designated for people with disabilities. The only people who can legally use these spaces are those who hold a permit, but this doesn't stop selfish drivers from claiming these spots on a daily basis. Also, some bikers think it's OK to park on those stripes that sit either side of a disabled parking space. Guess what? Those stripes aren't for bikes! They're there to allow people with disabilities additional room to manoeuvre.
Check out this list compiled by Bored Panda for some of the worst offenders we could find. Don't forget to vote for the most discourteous driver!

Police Parked In A Handicapped Spot

I've seen this happen before. Police Vehicles parked illegally, I guess they think they are above the law at times, when they should be leading by example.

I Confronted A Handicap Parking Thief, She Assaults Me
Jackie Andrews 7 years ago
Looks like when people are confronted with the f****d up s**t they're doing they get pissed, I was attacked by a man that I confronted for leaving his dog locked in his car for an hour on a 90 degree day. Now he's meeting me in court on assault charges =) HELL YEA I'm pressing charges!!!

Shouldn't assume that a disabled person couldn't possibly drive a sports car. I'm disabled. I have a badge for parking. I am not in a wheelchair and if I wasn't broke I could drive one of these!! Not all disabilities are viable.

There are some entries here that could serve as examples, but also several that praise self-justice as reasonable. It is not, for it will not change behaviour and is prone to failure, too. Yes, a car parked in a disabled spot should have a sign, but having none does not necessarily mean that it does not park there because a disabled person disembarked it, and it in particular does not mean that it should be damaged.

I agree. I try not to make assumptions about people who park in handicapped spots without a placard. Could be, they just forgot it. Yes, it is a requirement to have the placard displayed on the vehicle if it doesn't have handicapped plates. But i'm not going to ask someone to prove their disability over a parking space. It's simply not my business. My best friend, who had terminal cancer, had someone get in her face after she parked in a handicapped spot. He said, "you don't look disabled to me!" This is why i don't make assumptions.

I agree that able people who wilfully park in disabled spots are jerks, but please...don't take justice into your own hands unless you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that no one in that vehicle is disabled. Many disabilities are invisible. Many people have relatively good days and days with disabling flare-ups. Maybe we forgot our placard, or due to a number of possible obstacles, don't have one at the moment. It SUCKS to get told on a regular basis that "Oh, you can't have a disability, you're too young/pretty/aren't missing a limb/etc." Now imagine someone, on a bad health day, fighting to get through their errands mentally and physically, comes out to find their car has been vandalized by a ~vigilante~. Sincerely, someone who personally and via friends/acquaintances has been harassed and mistreated because know-it-alls didn't believe in our disability.

You should be careful however before making snap judgement... I need a handicap pass (Sometimes) sometimes I don't. Sometimes I forget to put it in the window, judgement should be left only to law enforcement, nobody should be the arbitrator of my disability nor should you jump to conclusions about authenticity. That being said, some of these people are in clear violation such as the double spot, the cops and the motorcycles.
