Yes, it is very wrong and some of the illegal parkers are hostile and defensive about it.

Or stupid! Two weeks ago a young woman about 19 pulled into a handicapped space in my town and went into the supermarket. When she came out, a policeman was writing out a ticket. She protested that she shouldn't get a ticket because, "Nobody was using the space."
The policeman replied, "This is for people with a physical handicap, not brain dead people," and handed her the ticket.
She protested. He wrote out another ticket (more expensive one) and handed it to her.
