You were parked in your muscled-up pick-up truck (idling! who still idles their car in 2017, seriously?) in one of the school accessible parking spots waiting to pick up your precious snowflake, without, of course, the required permit. When I pointed to you that you were not supposed to use these spots if you weren’t entitled to it, you reassured me with “there are other spots and it’s only for a couple of minutes”. I thought to myself, “Hey everyone, THE JERK SAID IT’S OK to use an accessible spot WITHOUT A PERMIT if it’s only for a couple of minutes, everyone park up! Sorry I was being considerate for people in actual need of those spots, you really eased my conscience there, thanks!” NOT. I really hope that you never become in need of accessibility and have to face inconsiderate assholes like yourself who think the law doesn’t apply to them “if it’s only for a couple minutes.” —Considerate (parent of disabled kid) human being

If you were to take a few pictures of the vehicle in the disabled parking space, along with the licence plate, and sent it to the police I wonder if they would take any action on it?
Guess what? Buddy in his big dick truck doesn’t give a shit. His sense of entitlement renders your outrage null & void. My partner has a disabled parking pass & sees people literally dashing from vehicles parked in these zones (sometimes with NO blue tag) to the stores all the time. This is today’s norm – most people are selfish & don’t give a hoot or a holler about anyone with mobility issues, especially if they can grab a closer parking space.
Totally valid bitch.
However, I hate it when taxpayer money is inefficiently utilized.
If there are 3 empty handicap spots, that is a waste.
If they are all used, there are not enough.
If 2 are empty and my neighbor – with the injured knee is stopped in the 3rd – it is still wrong, but it is better use of tax payer money.

I think he’s setting an awful example for his child. Glad you said something to him.
i see it more at mic mac mall and in dartmouth crossing.
if you were to question them on it …. good luck while taking a BLM beat down.
Yellowstone national park found a valid reason for able body drivers to park in handy camping spots…
If the piece of shit handicapped person is too busy taking the best parking spots at Walmart, then anytime after 6pm, if the campsite remains empty, any able bodied person -including a small dick truck driver – can take the camping spot.
Nothing stops them,Police will not ticket in Shopping Center parking lots,Handicap spots and Fire Lanes become parking lots,half the vehicles with these tags are driven by very able people
