13 years ago after my hip replacement, my doc gave me a temporary handicap parking permit. It is nice to park up front in a nice wide spot and not have to worry about door dings. I was still walking with a cane, at that time. I hung that handicap pass up in my garage as a memento, long before it expired as I was walking better than before the operation in short order.
There was an app to report handicap violations, I don''t know if it is still available. Just photograph the car, the tag number, and the handicap marker, and send it in. They said they would mail a letter to the offender on official looking letterhead. It had no real legal power, but maybe gave the offender something to think about.
My MIL is 92. She had a handicap placard when she still owned a car. We would take her to lunch in her car, and park up front. It was in the mirror as I hopped out, and some dude was yelling about using a handicap sport when I was not handicapped. I opened the door to my 92 year ol MIL and held her hand to steady her as she walked slowly into the restaurant. All the dude said was said was oh.
