W4RLKR: These patrol citizens have been highly trained and NOT running wild. Mostly they are looking for vehicles that are not properly displaying tags at all. If you are displaying tags I doubt they would even stop or approach you. Too many others with NO tags at all to check out.
These are not "concerned" citizens and are in the uniform shirts of the sheriffs office and are in a marked sheriff's office vehicle. They are there to keep the handicapped slots open for people just like you and I.
Any law including handicapped parking is mostly useless unless there is some enforcement. I have seen it work.
No, we should not have to prove our disability to anyone, but there are so many cheaters today, I will do so for law enforcement only.
The rest can show me their medical degree, in the specialty that is germane to my disability, first. Proctologists need not apply. :B
