I don't understand your concern about illegally parking in a handicap zone. If your wife is handicapped, don't you have a sticker, tag, or plate that indicates you are allowed to park in handicap spots?

I would never park in a handicap spot. 3 years ago I needed to after crushing my T-10 vertebrae to 1/2 of it's height and braking my right ankle in two places.
I'm angry at the rate of the fine. Figure that the average person in the States makes $27 an hour. It's nearly a weeks wage prior to TAX!
The fine is way over the top.
I could see that level of fine if the turd bucket got caught twice.
How much should a regular parking ticket be? $28? I think that's fair. I got one at 9 at night in Huntington beach for $49 that's FARE for an expired meter.
