You’re not permitted to break the law just because you’re crippled.

from another source:

>>> Officers stopped Clifford Owensby on Sept. 30 as he was driving away from what police say was a suspected drug house. Because of Owensby’s past felony drug and weapons history, officers wanted a police K-9 to conduct a “free-air” sniff of the vehicle to determine if there were illegal drugs inside, police said in a video briefing.

>>> To do that, officers told Owensby, he would have to step out of his car, according to body camera footage released by the department. “I cannot step out,” he tells the officers. “I’m a paraplegic.”

>>> The unidentified officer speaking to Owensby tells him police can help him out of the car, but Owensby says they may hurt him.
Authorities say they found a bag of cash containing $22,450 in the car which the K-9 “alerted” on, which police say means it was in the vicinity of illegal drugs at some point. Officers also removed a 3-year-old child from the backseat.
