I read a letter into Dear Abby or Ann Landers about this subject once. The guy wrote in who had Muscular dystrophy. He said he was young and worked out to try to counter act the effects of the disease as much as possible. The result was that he looked really healthy, but had very poor stamina, and a long walk would leave him exhausted. So, his disease left him in a state where a long walk was bad for him, but he didn't look like he should need a tag. He said that he was verbally accosted all of the time.
On the opposite side of the coin, we had a justice of the peace here in Houston get caught renewing the handicapped placard for her mother. The thing is, her mother had been dead for 6 years. Judge Betty Brock Bell.
